D Correct answer
Explanation

To execute means to carry out or perform an instruction. In computing, after a processor fetches and decodes an instruction, it executes it - meaning it performs the actual operation specified by that instruction (such as arithmetic, logic, or data movement). Decode converts coded information, highlight emphasizes text, and select marks an item.
