Answer 1

Answer:

a) these are lines read and processed by the preprocessor

Answer 2

Option (D) is correct.

"They end with a semicolon​" is not true about preprocessor directives.

About preprocessor directives :

• Preprocessor instructions are lines in a program that begins with the letter #, distinguishing them from the standard source program text.

• Preprocessor directives are lines in a program that start with the letter # and are processed by a preprocessor as part of the program.

• The statement that preprocessor directives must terminate with a semicolon(;) is not correct.

• For preprocessor directives statements, there is no need for a termination character.
