Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Software pipelining is a compiler optimization technique that reorders loop iterations to overlap operations, effectively managing out-of-order execution at compile time. Unlike hardware-based out-of-order execution, this approach relies on the compiler to schedule instructions for better pipeline utilization. Other optimizations like loop unrolling or dead code elimination do not primarily focus on instruction reordering for out-of-order execution semantics.
