Question

What is the word length of an 8-bit microprocessor?

• A. 16 bit
• B. 32 bit
• C. 8 bit
• D. may vary in between 8 bit to 32 bit

Hint:

The word length of a microprocessor defines the amount of data it processes in one clock cycle. For an 8-bit processor, the word length is always 8 bits.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Microprocessor Word Length Defined
An 8-bit microprocessor operates on 8 bits of data simultaneously, hence its word length is 8 bits.
Final Answer: \[\boxed{3. \text{8 bit}}\]
