Answer»

Right answer is (b) Arithmetic or logic function

For explanation I would say: An ALU PERFORMS BASIC arithmetic and logic operations and STORES it in the accumulator. Examples of arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, MULTIPLICATION, and division. Examples of logic operations are comparisons of values such as NOT, AND and OR and any LOGICAL operations.
