In the code optimization phase, the compiler analyzes the code generated in the previous phase and looks for possible optimizations to make the machine language translation more efficient. This can include things like reducing the number of instructions needed, eliminating redundant code, and rearranging code for better performance. The other options (parsing, lexical analysis, and semantic analysis and code generation) occur earlier in the compilation process and do not involve optimizing the code.
