One of the main feature that distinguish microprocessors from micro-computers is
A
Words are usually larger in microprocessors
B
Words are shorter in microprocessors
C
Microprocessor does not contain I/O devices
D
Exactly the same as the machine cycle time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Option C Solution: One of the main feature that distinguish microprocessors from microcomputers is microprocessor does not contain I/O devices. The microprocessor gives a computer the ability to calculate, sort data and perform logical comparisons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The microprocessor is the CPU part of a microcomputer, and it is also available as a single integrated circuit. Thus as main components, the microprocessor will have theControl Unit (CU) and the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) of a microcomputer. An example is Intel 8085 microprocessor.

Detailed explanation-3: -A microprocessor consists of an ALU, control unit and register array. Where ALU performs arithmetic and logical operations on the data received from an input device or memory. Control unit controls the instructions and flow of data within the computer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The microprocessor contains the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer’s central processing unit (CPU). The IC is capable of interpreting and executing program instructions and performing arithmetic operations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cache memory is not a part of microprocessor.
