Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is made up of two main parts, the Control Unit (CU) and the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU). The CU manages and coordinates the control signals and data flow between the CPU, main memory, and input/output devices, while the ALU performs arithmetic and logic operations on the data received from the memory or input devices. Choice A is incorrect as it refers to output and input devices, which are not parts of the CPU. Choice B is incorrect as it refers to software and hardware, which are not parts of the CPU but rather categories of computer components. Choice D is also incorrect as it is not a recognized categorization of CPU parts. Choice E is incorrect as it contradicts the existence of CPU parts.
