B
HLDA
C
IOR’
D
IOW’
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The 8237 supplies memory & I/O with control signals and memory address information during the DMA transfer. It is actually a special-purpose microprocessor which transfer high-speed data between memory and I/O. 8237 is not a discrete component in modern microprocessor-based systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer : DMA(Direct Memory Access):Using a DMA controller, the device requests the CPU to hold its data, address and control bus, so the device is free to transfer data directly to/from the memory. 8253/8254 Programmable Timer/Control. 8255 : Programmable Peripheral Interface.
