CPU word length is 32bits; addressable memory area is 224bytesB. None of the aboveC. CPU word length is 32bits; addressable memory area is 232bytesD. CPU word length is 24bits; addressable memory area is 224bytesE. CPU word length is 24bits; addressable memory area is 232bytesBelow definitions are from wikipedia:An address bus is a computer bus (a series of lines connecting two or more devices) that is used to specify a physical address.In computing, word is a term for the natural unit of data used by a particular computer design. A word is simply a fixed sized group of bits that are handled together by the system. The number of bits in a word (the word size or word length) is an important characteristic of computer architecture.The size of a word is reflected in many aspects of a computer's structure and operation; the majority of the registers in the computer are usually word sized and the amount of data transferred between the processing part computer and the memory system, in a single operation, is most often a word. The largest possible address size, used to designate a location in memory, is typically a hardware word (in other words, the full-sized natural word of the processor, as opposed to any other definition used on the platform).Modern computers usually have a word size of 16, 32 or 64 bits but many other sizes have been used, including 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 39, 40, 48 and 60 bits. The slab is an example of a system with an earlier word size. Several of the earliest computers used the decimal base rather than binary, typically having a word size of 10 or 12 decimal digits, and some early computers had no fixed word length at all.The size of a word can sometimes differ from the expected due to backward compatibility with earlier computers. If multiple compatible variations or a family of processors share a common architecture and instruction set but differ in their word sizes, their documentation and software may become notationally complex to accommodate the difference The length of a register is known as the word length of the computer.So here we can get rid of the last two options.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" />I think the answer is B any suggestions!!</blockquote>
