Correct option is A
The Correct Answer Is: (A) Arithmetic Logic Unit
Explanation:
The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a fundamental component of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) in computers.
It is responsible for performing arithmetic and logical operations such as:
- Arithmetic operations → Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Logical operations → AND, OR, NOT, XOR, comparisons (greater than, less than, equal to).
- Bitwise operations → Shifting and rotating bits in binary numbers.
ALU works in conjunction with the Control Unit (CU) and Registers to process instructions efficiently.
Information Booster:
- The ALU and Control Unit (CU) together form the CPU (Central Processing Unit).
- It operates based on binary logic (0s and 1s).
- The first ALU was developed in the early days of computing for simple calculations.
- Modern processors have multiple ALUs for faster execution of instructions.
