CISC stands for ____
A
Complete Instruction Sequential Compilation
B
Computer Integrated Sequential Compiler
C
Complex Instruction Set Computer
D
Complex Instruction Sequential Compilation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A computer in which individual instructions may perform many operations and take many cycles to execute, in contrast with reduced instruction set computer (RISC).

Detailed explanation-2: -CISC and RISC (Complex and Reduced Instruction Set Computer, respectively) are dominant processor architecture paradigms. Computers of the two types are differentiated by the nature of the data processing instruction sets interpreted by their central processing units (CPUs).

Detailed explanation-3: -RISC is an abbreviation for Reduced Instruction Set Computer, while CISC is an abbreviation for Complex Instruction Set Computer. Out of these, the RISC processors have a comparatively smaller set of instructions along with few addressing nodes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: CISC Processor : It is known as Complex Instruction Set Computer.

Detailed explanation-5: -CISC supports complex instructions that can be carried out across multiple clock cycles, while RISC must use simple instructions that can be executed within a single cycle.
