Consider the following statement regarding special purpose registers.
A. Program Counter (PC) keeps the track of next instruction executed
B. Instruction register holds the address of first instruction to be executed 
C. Accumulator holds the output of ALU
D. Program Counter (PC) keeps the track of only first instruction of the program
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

1. Program Counter (PC): This register holds the address of the next instruction to execute in a sequence. It does not only track the first instruction, making statement (A) correct and statement (D) incorrect.
2. Accumulator: This register temporarily holds the results from the ALU, making statement (C) correct.
3. Instruction Register: Holds the instruction currently being executed, not the address of the first instruction, so statement (B) is incorrect.
Information Booster:
· Accumulator: Used extensively in ALU operations to store intermediate results and facilitate faster calculations.
· Program Counter (PC): Crucial in sequential instruction execution, enabling the CPU to follow a defined order in program flow.
Additional Knowledge:
Option (b): Misunderstands the Program Counter's functionality.
Option (c): Incorrect assignment for the Instruction Register.
Option (d): Includes incorrect information about both the Instruction Register and Program Counter.
