A Correct answer
Explanation

The Terminal Table is a permanent database in compiler design that stores entries for each terminal symbol (tokens) in the language. Terminal symbols are the basic atomic elements that cannot be further broken down, such as keywords, operators, and identifiers. The Literal Table stores string/numeric constants, the Identifier Table tracks variable names, and these are distinct from the Terminal Table.
