Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Control Unit
Explanation:
· The Control Unit (CU) is a component of the computer's Central Processing Unit (CPU).
· It directs the operation of the processor and coordinates the activities of other units.
· It generates timing and synchronization signals to manage the flow of data between the memory, Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), and Input/Output devices.
· It acts as the "nervous system" of the computer, telling other parts how to respond to instructions.
Information Booster:
· The ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) performs arithmetic (addition, subtraction) and logical (AND, OR, NOT) operations.
· The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer.
· Clock speed (measured in GHz) determines the speed at which the Control Unit generates these synchronization pulses.
