The ‘heart’ of the processor which performs many different operations ____
A
Arithmetic and logic unit
B
Motherboard
C
Control Unit
D
Memory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An arithmetic-logic unit, or ALU, performs many arithmetics and logic operations. It is a digital circuit used to perform arithmetic and logic operations. It represents the fundamental building block of the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -An arithmetic-logic unit is the part of a central processing unit that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units: an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU).

Detailed explanation-3: -An ALU performs basic arithmetic and logic operations. Examples of arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Detailed explanation-4: -The heart of the computer system would be the clock signal on the motherboard, which produces a steady pulse that enables the CPU to carry out its function, assuming that you want to say that the CPU (central processing unit) is the brain of the computer system.

Detailed explanation-5: -B. 1 ALU. The ALU is a combinational circuit, and is that part of the processor that performs arithmetic, logic, and other necessary related operations. Sometimes there is a separate component, shifter, which is used to perform the shift operations on data items.
