Answer: D
Logic path monitors report on the sequence of steps executed
by a program. This provides the programmer with clues to
logic errors, if any, in the program. An output analyzer
checks the results of a program for accuracy by comparing
the expected results with the actual results. A memory dump
provides a picture of the content of a computer's internal
memory at any point of time, often when the program aborted,
thus providing information on inconsistencies in data or
parameter values. Though compilers have some potential to
provide feedback to a programmer, they are not generally
considered a debugging tool.
