- C. Accumulator
- D. Math coprocessor
Explanation
A segment is a logical unit of memory that is used to organize memory. It is not a register. Registers are small, high-speed memory locations that are used to store data that is currently being processed by the CPU. Segments are much larger than registers and are used to store data that is not currently being processed.In summary, a segment is a unit of memory organization, while the other options are all types of registers.
