Question

The break point of an interrupt during instruction cycle can occur at the end of

• A. Fetch phase
• B. Decode phase
• C. Any phase
• D. Store result phase

Hint:

Interrupts are typically handled after instruction execution, allowing for data to be stored before the interrupt is processed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

An interrupt can occur at any stage of the instruction cycle, but it typically happens after the instruction execution (i.e., the store result phase). This is when the current instruction has been executed and the CPU can handle the interrupt.
Thus, the correct answer is \( \text{Store result phase} \).
