A processor having Harvard architecture in main memory has:
(i) distinct address spaces for accessing the program memory and data memory, (ii) distinct control signals for accessing the program memory and data memory, (iii) distinct processor instructions for accessing the program memory and data memory. (iv) distinct data paths for the bytes for data and for the program, (v) helps easier handling of streams of data that are required to be accessed in cases of single instruction multiple data type instructions and DSP instructions.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Harvard architecture separates program and data memory access. The listed points describe distinct address/control/data paths and instruction/access separation, so all statements are correct.
