The output column of a NAND gate is...

The ​ (a)   of the next instruction is stored in the PC. It is then copied to the ​ (b)   . The PC then increments by 1. The address is then sent from MAR to main memory via the ​ (c)   , and the instruction is returned to the ​ (d)   via the ​ (e)   . (continues in next question) >>>

• Hard Drive

The instruction is copied from the MDR to the ​ (a)   , where it is decoded by the ​ (b)   . The same component then sends signals via the control bus to coordinate the other components to ​ (c)   the instruction. If it is a calculation, it will be performed by the ​ (d)   , storing the answer in the ​ (e)   .
