Best answer

The correct choice is (b) Decompiler

Best explanation: A decompiler takes an executable file as input and tries to generate high-level code. They can be said as opposite of compiler. It does not attempt to reverse the actions of the compiler; rather it transforms the input program repeatedly until HLL code is achieved.
