Address/Data bus (AD0-AD7) is
A
Multiplex and bidirectional bus
B
Demultiplex and bidirectional bus
C
multiplex and unidirectional bus
D
Demultiplex and unidirectional bus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Why the lower byte address bus (A0 – A7) and data bus (D0 – D7) are multiplexed? Ans. This is done to reduce the number of pins of 8085, which otherwise would have been a 48 pin chip. But because of multiplexing, external hardware is required to demultiplex the lower byte address cum data bus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Multiplexed AD BUS The signal lines AD0 to AD7 in 8085 microprocessor used for dual purpose. They carry address bits as well as data bits. This is called multiplexed address/data bus.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the 8085 microprocessor, the data bus and the low order address bus are multiplexed. This enables for the utilisation of 8 pins instead of the usual 16.
