Am i not sure what you are asking for.... Pls be specific with the word "Program". are you taking abt kernels or user programs? or are you asking abt hardware components?

Considering you are referring to a normal software program which can be developed using programming languages like python, C , C++ etc, A compiler/interpreter compiles the lines of code and creates an executable program. Which is superficially executed by ALU.
As varadharajan asked above, you can be a little more specific.

Yes mitu from hardware point of view it is the processor that executes the instructions in the program.The instructions and necessary data for executing the instructions are fetched from the memory and executed accordingly in the processor
