In Von Neumann architecture, which of the following names handles all the operations of the system that are inside and outside the processor?
Correct answer: C. Control Unit
- A. Input Unit
- B. Output Unit
- C. Control Unit
- D. Memory Unit
Explanation
The control unit acts as the brain of the computer system in Von Neumann architecture. It fetches instructions from memory, decodes them, and sends control signals to other units like the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and memory unit to execute those instructions. It essentially orchestrates the entire flow of data and instructions within the system, coordinating the internal operations of the processor and its interactions with external devices

About Hardware and Software
Hardware includes the physical components of a computer, such as the CPU, motherboard, registers, memory, storage devices and peripheral equipment. Software covers system software, application software, utilities, drivers and firmware, with attention to how the operating system manages hardware and how software differs from the physical equipment it controls.
