Explanation

The Control Unit (CU) is the component within the CPU that interprets program instructions and directs the operation of the processor. It decodes instructions, determines the required operations, and coordinates data flow between the ALU, registers, and memory. Registers (Option B) store data temporarily, while the ALU (Option C) performs arithmetic and logical operations.
