  • C. is a program that appears to execute a source program as if it were machine language
  • D. program that accepts a program written in a high level language and produces an object program

An interpreter executes a source program by translating and performing its instructions during execution, giving the appearance that the source is running directly as machine language. A compiler instead translates the whole high-level program into an object or machine-code program before execution.
