Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is an 8-bit register? Explanation: The registers, PSW, TCON and Accumulator are 8-bit registers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Accumulator, as its name suggests, is used as a general register to accumulate the results of a large number of instructions. It can hold an 8-bit (1-byte) value and is the most versatile register the 8051 has due to the shear number of instructions that make use of the accumulator.

Detailed explanation-3: -These 8-bit registers are used for the storing the memory addresses that can be used to access internal and external data/code.
