What is the name of the time delay in a CPU caused by differences between the speed o CPU, the system bus, and memory circuits? a. wait cycle b. wait state c. dead cycle d. memory write cycle

Option b is the correct answer for the above question.

Explanation:

The wait state is a state in which any process is waiting in a queue for his option. It happens when the other process is going on. It is because the CPU has not the capability to solve the problem of more processor. The above question asked about the name of the delay which is caused by the CPU for any processor then the answer is wait state because when a process is ready for the process but it is waiting for his turn then the state of the process is known as a wait state. so the Option b is the correct because it states about the wait state which is the correct answer which is described above but the other is not because--

Option 'a' states about the wait cycle which is not the correct option. Option c states about the dead cycle which is also not the correct answer. Option d states about the memory write which is also not the correct answer.
