What is a complex instruction set computer chip? Multiple Choice Performs all arithmetic operations (for example, addition and subtraction) and all logic operations (such as sorting and comparing numbers) The actual hardware that interprets and executes the program (software) instructions and coordinates how all the other hardware devices work together Interprets software instructions and literally tells the other hardware devices what to do, based on the software instructions A type of CPU that can recognize as many as 100 or more instructions, enough to carry out most computations directly

Answer: A type of CPU that can recognize as many as 100 or more instructions, enough to carry out most computations directly

Explanation: Complex instruction set computer(CISC) is the computer device that performs the task of multiple execution through a single instruction.The instruction set present in CISC can range from simple to complex category.They can execute the numerous complex instruction efficiently.

Other options are incorrect because CISC does not perform every arithmetic function,does not helps functioning of hardware via software and does not execute function of software through interpretation of hardware.
