Identify the correct logical sequence for programming :

1.Compilation

2.Editing

3.Linking

4.Execution

A4, 2, 1, 3

B1, 2, 4, 3

C1, 2, 3, 4

D2, 1, 3, 4 ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 2, 1, 3, 4

Explanation

Editing comes first because the programmer writes and saves the source code.

Compilation follows, turning the edited source code into object code.

Linking then combines the object code with libraries into an executable file.

Execution runs the final program to produce output.

The order Statement 2, Statement 1, Statement 3, Statement 4 reflects this build pipeline.

An interpreter differs by translating and running code line by line without a separate link stage.
