Question

which of the following statements are true regarding the fetch - execute cycle? select 3 options. the device responsible for performing the fetch - execute cycle is the cpu. fetch refers to saving output to the hard drive. the fetch - execute cycle is only carried out when a user types in input. each step of the fetch - execute cycle is performed for each instruction. the order of steps in the fetch - execute cycle is fetch - decode - execute - store.

Explanation:

The CPU is responsible for the fetch - execute cycle. Fetch - execute cycle steps (fetch - decode - execute - store) are done for each instruction. The cycle occurs for all program instructions, not just user - input ones. Fetch means getting an instruction from memory, not saving output to hard drive.

Answer:

A. The device responsible for performing the fetch - execute cycle is the CPU.
D. Each step of the fetch - execute cycle is performed for each instruction.
F. The order of steps in the fetch - execute cycle is fetch - decode - execute - store.
