$$\matrix{ S & \to & {aSb|X} \cr X & \to & {aX|Xb|a|b,} \cr } $$

where S and X are non-terminals, and a and b are terminal symbols. The starting non-terminal is S.

Which one of the following statements is CORRECT?

A
The language generated by G is $$(a+b)^*$$
B
The language generated by G is $$a^*(a+b)b^*$$
C
The language generated by G is $$a^*b^*(a+b)$$
D

Consider the pushdown automation (PDA) P below, which runs on the input alphabet {a, b}, has stack alphabet {$$\bot$$, A}, and has three states {s, p, q}, with s being the start state. A transition from state u to state v, labelled c/X/$$\gamma$$, where c is an input symbol or $$\in $$, X is a stack symbol, and $$\gamma$$ is a string of stack symbols, represents the fact that in state u, the PDA can read c from the input, with X on the top of its stack, pop X from the stack, push in the string $$\gamma$$ on the stack, and go to state v. In the initial configuration, the stack has only the symbol $$\bot$$ in it. The PDA accepts by empty stack.
