In ARM Processor, Data Bus is ____ bit and Address Bus is ____ Bits
A
16, 32
B
32, 32
C
32, 16
D
16, 16
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computer architecture, 32-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 32 bits (4 octets or 4 Bytes) wide. Also, 32-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.

Detailed explanation-2: -ARM processors have 32-bit wide data buses. Each location is a word which is 4 bytes or 32 bits long. Each word could store either an unsigned number in the range 0-4294967295 or a 2’s-complement signed number in the range-2, 147, 483, 648 (-231) to 2, 147, 483, 647 (231-1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the address bus width is 10 bits. The data bus of 8 bits will be required to write/read data at each 8-bit memory location.

Detailed explanation-4: -32-bit, in computer systems, refers to the number of bits that can be transmitted or processed in parallel. In other words, 32-bits the number of bits that compose a data element. For a data bus, 32-bit means the number of pathways available, meaning that it has 32 pathways in parallel for data to travel.
