Q. The computer's processor consists of the following parts.
✅ Correct Answer: (C)
Control Unit and ALU
Explanation:
The processor (CPU - Central Processing Unit) consists of two main parts:
Control Unit (CU):
- Directs the flow of instructions and data within the CPU.
- Manages communication between different parts of the computer.
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU):
- Performs mathematical calculations (addition, subtraction, etc.).
- Handles logical operations (comparisons like greater than, less than, etc.).
Other Options Explained:
- (A) CPU and Main Memory → Incorrect. Main Memory (RAM) is separate from the processor.
- (B) Hard Disk and Floppy Drive → Incorrect. These are storage devices, not processor components.
- (D) Operating System and Application → Incorrect. These are software, not part of the processor.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) Control Unit and ALU.
