Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: 8086 does not have 8 data lines.
8085 — 8-bit data bus, so it has 8 data lines.
8088 — variant of 8086 with an 8-bit external data bus (AD0–AD7), so it has 8 data lines externally.
Z80 — 8-bit microprocessor with an 8-bit data bus, so it has 8 data lines.
8086 — 16-bit data bus (AD0–AD15, multiplexed with address lines), so it does not have only 8 data lines.
Therefore, the processor that does not have 8 data lines is 8086.
