Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Indirect addressing uses an address field that points to another memory location containing the effective address, so it is commonly associated with pointers. Immediate addressing places the operand value directly in the instruction, so it is associated with constants. Auto-decrement addressing updates an address register by decrementing it automatically, which is useful while iterating through data, so it matches loops. Therefore X-2, Y-3, Z-1 is the correct matching.
