B)delayed branch
C)multiple stream
D)branch prediction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the concept of loop buffer which is a small, very high-speed memory used by the processor to store the recently fetched instructions, primarily used in loops to improve performance. The other options such as delayed branch, multiple stream, and branch prediction are not related to the given description.
