C)bus interface unit
D)floating point unit

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The floating point unit (FPU) is specifically designed to handle arithmetic and logical operations involving floating-point numbers, which are common in image editing for tasks such as color adjustments, filters, and transformations. The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) handles basic arithmetic and logical operations, but for operations involving floating-point numbers, the FPU is used to accelerate these processes, providing the necessary computational power for efficient image editing.
