The correct answer is C (Interrupt Request) because IRQ is the hardware signal that devices send to the CPU to get attention. The 'Q' stands for 'Request,' not 'Que.' IRQs are fundamental to how computers manage multiple devices needing processor time.

The correct answer is C (Central Processing Unit) because the CPU is the primary component that executes instructions in a computer. 'Central' and 'Processing' are the key terms that describe its role as the computer's main execution engine.
