The correct answer is: A. Performs the arithmetic-logic and control functions.<\/p>\n
A microprocessor is a small computer processor that incorporates the functions of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit, or a small number of integrated circuits. Microprocessors contain both combinational logic and sequential digital logic, and operate on numbers and symbols represented in the binary numeral system.<\/p>\n
Microprocessors perform arithmetic and logical operations, control the sequencing of operations, and input and output data. They are used in a wide variety of applications, including personal computers, smartphones, and automobiles.<\/p>\n
Option B is incorrect because there are many other chips in a PC system, such as the memory, graphics, and storage chips.<\/p>\n
Option C is incorrect because microprocessors can operate on data at different bit sizes, depending on the instruction set architecture (ISA) of the microprocessor.<\/p>\n
Option D is incorrect because the primary storage function is performed by the memory chips.<\/p>\n
Option E is incorrect because the answer is A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
