Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

To determine which component acts as the nervous system, consider the function of the nervous system: it coordinates and controls all body activities by sending signals.

Now evaluate each component:

  • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU): Performs calculations and logical operations. It does not coordinate or control other components.

  • Input Unit: Receives data from external sources. It does not manage or direct system operations.

  • Control Unit: Coordinates and directs all operations in the CPU. It sends control signals to other components to execute instructions.

  • Storage Unit: Holds data and instructions. It does not control or communicate with other components.

The component that coordinates and controls operations is analogous to the nervous system.
