A
Correct Answer
A situation that prevents the next instruction in the pipeline from executing in its designated clock cycle; main types include structural, data, and control hazards
Explanation
Structural hazards arise from resource conflicts, data hazards from instruction dependencies, and control hazards from branches — all can stall the pipeline and require techniques like forwarding or branch prediction to mitigate.
