Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Program counter

The correct answer is Program counter.

  • Program Counter:
    • A program counter (PC) is a CPU register in the computer processor which has the address of the next instruction to be executed from memory.
    • It is a digital counter needed for faster execution of tasks as well as for tracking the current execution point.
    • A program counter is also known as an instruction counter, instruction pointer, instruction address register or sequence control register.
    • Similar to other process registers of the computer, the program counter is like a bank of binary latches, with each representing one bit of value.
    • The program counter works in combination with other registers to identify the current instruction.
    • It can be modified or accessed with the help of access or jump instructions.
    • The PC can be accessed/modified by jump and branch instructions.
    • Therefore, the destination address can be loaded to the program counter via branch instructions.
    • The program counter can also be loaded with the address using the data processing instructions.
