During the first stage of FDE cycle carried out by the CPU.The CPU ____ an instruction from main memory (RAM or Cache Memory)
A
Fetches
B
Decodes
C
Executes
D
Runs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The fetch-execute cycle (also known as fetch-decode-execute cycle) is followed by a processor to process an instruction . The cycle consists of several stages. The memory address held in the program counter is copied into the MAR . The address in the program counter is then incremented-increased-by one.

Detailed explanation-2: -It fetches the instructions from the main memory and executes them. This is done repeatedly from when the computer is booted up to when it is shut down. The CPU fetches the instructions one at a time from the main memory into the registers.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is the most basic CPU operation, and modern CPUs are able to perform millions of machine cycles per second. The cycle consists of three standard steps: fetch, decode and execute. In some cases, store is also incorporated into the cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle. The essential idea of the FDE cycle is that instructions are fetched from RAM decoded executed by the CPU.
