Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The actions that implement the meaning of an instruction are actually carried out during instruction execution. An instruction goes through three main stages: Instruction Fetch – fetching the instruction from memory
Instruction Decode – decoding the instruction
Instruction Execution – performing the actual operation
Thus, the instruction’s meaning is implemented during the execution stage.
