For a C program accessing X[ i ] [ j ] [ k ], the following intermediate code is generated by a compiler. Assume that the size of an integer is 32 bits and the size of a character is 8 bits.
t0 = i * 1024 
t1 = j * 32 
t2 = k * 4 
t3 = t1 + t0 
t4 = t3 + t2 
t5 = X[t4] 
Which one of the following statements about the source code for the C program is CORRECT?
A
X is declared as "int X[32] [32] [8]"
B
X is declared as "int X[4] [1024] [32]"
C
X is declared as "char X[4] [32] [8]"
D
X is declared as "char X[32] [16] [2]"

Consider the following translation scheme.

$$\eqalign{ & S \to ER \cr & R \to *E\left\{ {pr{\mathop{\rm int}} ('*');} \right\}R\,|\,\varepsilon \cr & E \to F + E\left\{ {pr{\mathop{\rm int}} (' + ');} \right\}\,|\,F \cr & F \to S\,|\,id\,\left\{ {pr{\mathop{\rm int}} (id.value);} \right\} \cr} $$

Here id is a token that represents an integer and id.value represents the corresponding integer value. For an input '2 * 3 + 4' this translation scheme prints

A
2 * 3 + 4
B
2 * + 3 4
C
2 3 * 4 +
D
2 3 4 + *
