Correct answer: B
Answer: Call and Load are not data-manipulation instructions.
Call — a control-transfer instruction that changes program flow; it does not perform data manipulation.
Load — a data-transfer instruction that moves data between memory and registers; it is not a data-manipulation operation.
And — a logical (bitwise) data-manipulation instruction.
Increment — an arithmetic data-manipulation instruction.
Shift — a bitwise data-manipulation instruction.
Key idea: data-manipulation instructions perform arithmetic or logical operations on data; control-transfer and data-transfer instructions (such as Call and Load) do not fall into this category.
