Correct Option: B

The functions performed in pass $1$ and pass $2$ in $2$ pass assembler are

Pass $1$

  1. Assign addresses to all statements in the program.
  2. Save the values assigned to all labels for use in pass $2$
  3. Perform some processing of assembler directives.

Pass $2$

  1. Assemble instructions.
  2. Generate data values defined by BYTE, WORD etc.
  3. Perform processing of assembler directives not done during pass $1$.
  4. Write the program and the assembling listing

i think ans should be B.

literals added to literal table is done in lexical analysis phase, so possible in 1 pass.

and a is back end activity so can not in 1 pass.

d is back end activity but it is in 2 pass assembler. so only 1 pass required.

hence B
