The “8-bit Microprocessor” means:
A
Each mem. location is 8-bit
B
Total mem. area is 1 Mbytes
C
Data bus (D7-D0)
D
All registers of 8-bit size
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -8 bit microprocessor:-8-bit is an early computer hardware device or software program that is capable of transferring eight bits of data at the same time. The Intel 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor. Its data bus is 8-bit wide and hence, 8 bits of data can be transmitted in parallel from or to the microprocessor.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 8085 microprocessor, Address bus is of 16 bits (A0-A15) and can transfer maximum 16 bit address and hence can address 65, 536 different memory locations. This bus is multiplexed with 8 bit data bus.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Intel 8085 is an 8-bit microprocessor. Its data bus is 8-bit wide and hence, 8 bits of data can be transmitted in parallel from or to the microprocessor. The Intel 8085 requires a 16-bits. The 8 most significant bits of the address are transmitted by the address bus, (Pins A8, to A15).

Detailed explanation-4: -Increasing the bit-width of a CPU does improve a computer’s performance, but for basic tasks, 8-bits is often sufficient, including word processing, games, music development, spreadsheets, and task management.
