Show Answers

Handles the main memory storage tasksRepresents the sole chip found in the majority of PC modelsCarries out arithmetic, logic, and control operationsTypically processes data one bit at a time

Explanation

Option A is incorrect because primary storage is managed by memory modules, not the microprocessor. Option B is wrong as PCs contain multiple chips besides the microprocessor. Option C is correct since the microprocessor performs arithmetic, logical, and control functions essential for computing. Option D is inaccurate because microprocessors generally handle data in larger groups than single bits.
