b)A hardware design that permits operations on the contents of registers,including the writing of the results into a selected register

c)An array whose elements are pointers to strings which contain the names of the 32 MIPS registers

d)A selection of the contents of a subset of 32 MIPS registers,stored in RAM

Please explain your answer

Answer 1

ANSWER: D) A selection of the contents of a subset of 32 MIPS registers,stored in RAM

EXPLAINATION :

A register array is an array of registers (32 general purpose registers) which reduces the accessing time of CPU which

it usually takes to fetch an information/data from memory.

Registers are a type of computer memory used to quickly accept, store, and transfer data and instructions that are being used immediately by the CPU , thus register array is the array of these registers that allow the selection of the contents of registers stored in the RAM (Random Access Memory).
