Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is A) A technique that overlaps the execution of multiple instructions by dividing instruction processing into stages, allowing different stages of different instructions to execute simultaneously

A

Correct Answer

A technique that overlaps the execution of multiple instructions by dividing instruction processing into stages, allowing different stages of different instructions to execute simultaneously

Explanation

Pipelining breaks instruction execution into stages (fetch, decode, execute, etc.) so that while one instruction is being decoded, another can be fetched, increasing overall instruction throughput.
