If a C compiler is developed for a specific Operating System, why might it not work on a different operating system?

• due to syntax differences in the source code

• due to incompatible header files between systems

• due to different machine code translations targeting specific system architectures

• due to semantic variations in programming topic

in program development, what is the main objective of the testing phase?

• making the software available for users

• designing the structure of the software

• ensuring the software works as intended and fixing bugs
