Explanation

The primary definition of a compiler is a program that translates high-level language (HLL) source code into machine-level language (object code). While some compilers may output assembly language as an intermediate step, the ultimate task that distinguishes a compiler from an assembler is the conversion from a high-level abstraction to a machine-executable format. Option C describes an assembler, not a compiler.
