d.      30 bits

Explanation / Answer

1. c) CPU performs actual processing of data in computer.

It contains Control UNIT,ALU unit

2. d) RAM RAM is a part of memory unit.Its not part of a CPU.

3. c)It stores both Data and Instructions.

But when power goes off,all it hold will be lost.

4. d) Register,RAM,Cache,hardDrive

Actually the correct ascending order in tne order of memory is

Register,Cache,RAM,Harddrive.

5. c)FourBytes =4*8=32 bits.

Now a days,32 bits and 64 bits laptop computers are using

1.)b) 32 bits as explained above.
