Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Answer: RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer). Explanation: RISC designs use a small, optimized set of simple and essential instructions that the processor implements directly. By keeping instructions simple and limited in number, the processor can decode and execute them more quickly and efficiently. Simpler instructions reduce decode complexity and often allow single-cycle execution.
