How many units does ALU have?
Correct answer: B. 3
- A. 1
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 5
Explanation
The answer is 3.While the image doesn't explicitly explain what ALU refers to, it does provide answer choices. In computer architecture, ALU stands for Arithmetic Logic Unit, which is a digital circuit designed to perform arithmetic and logical operations. An ALU typically consists of three subunits:Arithmetic Unit (AU): Performs arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.Logic Unit (LU): Performs logical operations like AND, OR, NOT, etc.Control Unit (CU): Controls the operation of the AU and LU based on the instructions received.Therefore, the most likely number of units in an ALU is 3.
