B Correct answer
Explanation

Set-Use pairs are fundamental to data flow analysis, which tracks how variables are assigned (set) and subsequently used (referenced) through a program. This analysis identifies potential defects like using uninitialized variables, variables used after being freed, or redundant computations. Control flow analysis examines execution paths, coding standards check style, and cyclomatic complexity measures structural complexity.
