The size of DI and SI register is:
Correct answer: B. 4 bytes
- A. 2 bytes
- B. 4 bytes
- C. 6 bytes
- D. 8 bytes
Explanation
In most modern computer architectures, including x86 which is commonly used in personal computers, the DI (Destination Index) and SI (Source Index) registers are both 4 bytes in size. They are used for memory addressing and can hold 32-bit values.It is important to note that the size of registers can vary depending on the specific computer architecture. However, 4 bytes is the most common size for these registers.
