It should be syntax analysis.

Lexical analysis - the process of converting a sequence of characters into a sequence of tokens.
Syntax analysis - transformation of the linear sequence of tokens into a hierarchical syntax tree.
So, I hope given answer is (lexical analysis) correct.

It should be syntax analysis because syntax analysis identifies the syntax classes such as noun, verb etc.

Lexical analysis is correct because it is using source program.

1. Lexical analysis is correct since input is Source program (and not sequence of tokens).
2. Maybe syntactic class refers to type of token (like identifier, keyword etc).
Eg. A = 5;//source program.
(Token category, Token value) -> (identifier, a), (Assignment Op, =), (integer literal, 5).

Syntax analysis is correct parsing is only done in syntax analysis and not in lexical analysis.
