Final answer:

The terms for each step of the CPU's instruction cycle are Fetch for getting the next instruction, Decode for interpreting the instruction, Execute for carrying out the instruction, and Store for saving the result.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cycle you're asking about refers to the steps a CPU (Central Processing Unit) takes to execute an instruction in a program. Here's how the terms match each step of the cycle:

  • Fetch: Get next instruction
  • Decode: Interpret instruction
  • Execute: Carry out instruction
  • Store: Save result of instruction

This sequence is known as the Fetch-Decode-Execute cycle, also called the instruction cycle.
