Consider these two functions and two statements S1 and S2 about them.
int work1(int *a, int i, int j)
{
int x = a[i+2];
a[j] = x+1;

int work2(int *a, int i, int j)
{
int t1 = i+2;
int t2 = a[t1];
a[j] = t2+1;
return t2 3;
}
S1: The transformation from work1 to work2 is valid, i.e., for any progr
am state and input arguments, work2 will compute the same output and
have the same effect on program state as work1
S2: All the transformations applied to work1 to get work2 will always im
prove the performance (i.e reduce CPU time) of work2 compared to work1
A) S1 is false and S2 is false
B) S1 is false and S2 is true
C) S1 is true and S2 is false
D) S1 is true and S2 is true
