$$
\text{S} \rightarrow a \text{S} b \mid b \text{S} a \mid \text{SS} \mid \epsilon
$$
Which of the following best characterizes the language generated by the grammar above?

  1. All strings of the form $a^i b^j a^k,$ where $i+j=k$
  2. All palindromes over $a$ and $b$
  3. All strings with equal numbers of $a\text{'s}$ and $b\text{'s}$ 
  4. All strings of the form $w w^\text{R},$ where $w \epsilon\{a, b\}^*$

Given grammar generates $abab,$ so, options A, B, D are wrong. Option C is correct.

The given grammar is a standard grammar for the language where the number of $a’s$ is same as the number of $b’s.$
