Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A linker combines the object program with the necessary programs from libraries to create an executable file. Assemblers (A) convert assembly language code into machine language, decoders (B) convert encoded information into its original form, and compilers (D) translate high-level programming languages into machine language. While all of these tools are important in the software development process, only a linker explicitly performs the action described in the question.
