State whether the following statements are true or false.
(i) With one-address instructions, the programmer generally has available only one general-purpose register, the accumulator.
(ii) Zero-address instructions are applicable to a special memory organization called a stack.
Answer: A. (i) True, (ii) True — Statement (i) is true because one-address instructions implicitly use the accumulator as an operand, limiting available general-purpose registers. Statement…

Correct answer: A
Statement (i) is true because one-address instructions implicitly use the accumulator as an operand, limiting available general-purpose registers. Statement (ii) is true because zero-address instructions operate on a stack where operands are implicitly accessed via push and pop operations without explicit memory addresses.
