Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The operation executed on data stored in registers is called a micro-operation. In computer architecture, these are elementary hardware actions that manipulate data directly within registers. Macro-operations refer to higher-level machine instructions composed of multiple micro-operations, whereas bit or byte operations describe data size rather than the execution level.
