The correct answer is A) A CPU design that can issue and execute multiple instructions during a single clock cycle by using multiple execution units
A
Correct Answer
A CPU design that can issue and execute multiple instructions during a single clock cycle by using multiple execution units
Explanation
Superscalar processors have multiple execution units (e.g., multiple ALUs) and can dispatch several instructions in parallel within a single cycle, increasing instruction-level parallelism beyond what simple pipelining achieves.
