Question

Options

• Aa machine list
• Ba low-level list
• Can instruction list
• D

• A
  11% (4)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  80% (28)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because in computer architecture, the complete set of commands that a processor can execute is formally called an instruction set (or instruction list) - it defines every operation the CPU understands, from arithmetic to memory access. Option A ("machine list") is not standard terminology; while instructions do become machine code, "machine list" is not a recognized term for this concept. Option B ("low-level list") is similarly informal - "low-level" describes the nature of the language, not the name for the complete collection of commands. Option D appears to be missing from the question, so it cannot be correct.

Memory tip: Think of the CPU as a chef and the instruction set as its recipe list - it's the complete catalog of everything the chef knows how to cook. The formal industry term is "instruction set architecture" (ISA), so "instruction list" maps directly to that concept.
