Question

Choose the software interrupt from the following list:

• A. INTR
• B. RST 6.5
• C. RST 5
• D. TRAP

Hint:

Software interrupts are triggered by instructions, while hardware interrupts depend on external events.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- Software interrupts are triggered by executing instructions in a program and are not related to external hardware signals. - RST 5 is a software interrupt, as it is explicitly called by the program to handle specific tasks. - Other options: INTR: A general-purpose hardware interrupt. RST 6.5: A vectored hardware interrupt. TRAP: A non-maskable hardware interrupt.
