Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The grammar S → aS | bA and A → d | ccA generates strings that start with zero or more 'a's, followed by a 'b', then zero or more occurrences of 'cc', and ending with 'd'. This corresponds to the regular expression a* b(cc)* d. Option C correctly represents this pattern.
