The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

- **STA 3000 H** instruction requires 4 memory cycles: 1 for opcode fetch, 1 for memory address fetch, and 2 for data transfer. - **LXI D, 3000 H** instruction requires 3 memory cycles: 1 for opcode fetch, and 2 for loading the 16-bit address. Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
