Syntax errors are errors that result from incorrect use of language syntax, such as missing semicolons or parentheses. Compiler errors and linker errors occur during the compilation and linking phases and prevent the program from running at all. Logic errors, on the other hand, occur when the program runs but produces incorrect results due to flawed program logic or algorithms. Thus, B is the correct answer.
