Final answer:
The CPU does not place the instruction received from memory in its program counter. Instead, it fetches the instruction using the program counter.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement in the question is false.
The CPU does not place the instruction received from memory in its program counter.
The program counter is a register that holds the memory address of the next instruction to be fetched.
Instead, the CPU fetches the instruction from memory using the program counter and then places it in the instruction register for decoding and execution.
