What is the relationship between a source code file and an executable code file in programming?

Executable code files $(.$exe$)$ result from linking object code with system resources, while source code files contain the original program instructions.

Source code files are converted directly into executable code files during compilation.

Both source code and executable code files contain the same code but in different formats.

Source code files contain system resources required for program execution, and executable code files are used during debugging.
