• A. A and B only
• B. A, B and C only
• C. B and D only
• D. A, C and D only

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Programming language translators and software categories are important computer concepts.
Step 1:
Compiler converts high-level language into machine-level code. Thus A is correct.
Step 2:
Interpreter translates and executes program line by line. It is useful for debugging. Thus B is correct.
Step 3:
POST and bootstrap loader are system software, not application software. MS Office is proprietary software, not open source. Thus C and D are incorrect.
Step 4:
\[ A,\quad B \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Option = (1)}} \]
