Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Interrupt Vectors in the Interrupt Vector table represent the address of the Interrupt Service Routine.

Lets consider an example. When we press a key on the keyboard, a hardware interrupt is raised corresponding to keypress event. The control passes to the corresponding Interrupt Vector in the Interrupt Vector table which in turn directs the execution flow to the keyboard interrupt handler.
