A part of computer devices that performs arithmetic calculations
A
ALU
B
Control Unit
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central processing unit (CPU) is the brains of the computer, capable of controlling and performing mathematical calculations.

Detailed explanation-2: -function in digital computer …of a control unit, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU), a memory unit, and input/output (I/O) controllers. The ALU performs simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and logic operations, such as OR and AND. The memory stores the program’s instructions and data.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In computing, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a combinational digital circuit that performs arithmetic and bitwise operations on integer binary numbers. This is in contrast to a floating-point unit (FPU), which operates on floating point numbers.

Detailed explanation-5: -A calculator is a device that performs arithmetic operations on numbers. Basic calculators can do only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division mathematical calculations.
