    C.

    Control unit

    D.

    Mouse

    Correct option is C

    The Correct Answer is:(C) Control Unit
    Explanation :
    The Control Unit (CU) is a crucial component of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) that coordinates and directs all operations of a computer.
    It ensures that instructions are executed in the correct sequence and manages data flow between different components.
    • Fetches instructions from memory.
    • Decodes and interprets instructions.
    • Directs the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and registers to perform tasks.
    • Controls input and output devices to ensure smooth data transfer.
    • Regulates the flow of data within the CPU and between system components.
    Information Booster:

    The CPU consists of three main components:

    1. Control Unit (CU): Manages and coordinates all functions.
    2. Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Performs mathematical and logical operations.
    3. Memory Unit: Stores data and instructions temporarily for quick access.
    Additional Knowledge:
    • Motherboard: The main circuit board that connects and holds all essential computer components, including the CPU, RAM, and storage. 
    • Keyboard: An input device used to enter data into the computer.
    • Mouse: Another input device that allows users to interact with the computer by pointing and clicking .
