Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The x86 architecture began with the Intel 8086 microprocessor, which was introduced in 1978. This processor was a 16-bit design and became the foundation for the x86 family used in personal computers. It was not released in 1971, 1981, or 1991, as those years correspond to other significant developments in computing history.
हिन्दी उत्तर: x86 आर्किटेक्चर की शुरुआत इंटेल 8086 माइक्रोप्रोसेसर के साथ हुई, जो 1978 में लॉन्च किया गया था। यह 16-बिट डिज़ाइन था और पर्सनल कंप्यूटर में x86 परिवार का आधार बना। यह 1971, 1981 या 1991 में नहीं जारी किया गया था, क्योंकि ये वर्ष कंप्यूटिंग इतिहास में अन्य महत्वपूर्ण विकासों से संबंधित हैं।
