Computer Fundamentals and System Concepts

Correct Answer: Microprocessor

Correct answer is (2). 

Peripherals are auxiliary devices that connect to and work with the computer in some way, such as keyboards, mice, or printers.

A computer virus is a type of malicious software designed to replicate itself and spread to other computers while damaging data.

The motherboard is the main printed circuit board in a computer that connects all the components together.

There are 5 main types of ROM: MROM (Masked ROM), PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM), and Flash memory.

A notebook computer is a portable personal computer that is typically lightweight and compact, often weighing around 6 pounds or less.

Booting is the process of starting a computer. It involves loading the operating system into the computer's main memory so that it can execute programs.

Pentium processors contain millions of transistors, ranging from about 3 million in early versions to much more in later versions. 'Several million' is the most accurate description. One or one hundred transistors is far too few for a CPU.

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is the component of a CPU that performs arithmetic operations like addition. While ALUs can add any numbers, binary addition (adding 2 numbers) is fundamental to how computers process information. The other options (4, 5, 6) are not standard ways to describe ALU functionality.

A hardware interrupt is triggered by external hardware devices (like a hard disk or keyboard). A program error (like division by zero) triggers a software interrupt or exception, not a hardware interrupt.

In hardwired control, all the control signals required inside the CPU can be generated using a state counter and a PLA circuit.

This is a process that resolves external symbolic references by linking need object modules, which are referenced in the program.

Storage is that place where you save data.

ALU - Arithmetic and logic unit performs mathematical functions. Control unit - It provides control in the flow of data. Register - It provides memory for processing the data.
