Analyze the following MIPS assembly code sequence. What is its primary function?

slt $$2,$ $$2,10$

bne $$2,$ $$0,$ $L$5$

A$)$ It sets register $$2$ to $1$ if the value in $$2$ is less than $10,$ then branches to label $L$5$ if $$2$ is not equal to $0.$

B$)$ It subtracts $10$ from the value in register $$2,$ then branches to label $L$5$ if the result is equal to $0.$

C$)$ It compares the value in register $$2$ to $10$ and sets $$2$ to $1$ if greater, then branches to $L$5$ if $$2$ equals $0.$

D$)$ It loads the value $10$ into register $$2,$ then always branches to label $L$5.$

E$)$ None of above.
