In the latest generation of computers, the instructions are executed

AParallelly only

BSequentially only

CBoth sequentially and parallelly ✓ Correct

DNone of the above

Correct answer: (C) Both sequentially and parallelly

Explanation

The latest generation of computers executes instructions both sequentially and in parallel.

Working purely in parallel ignores the sequential steps still used.

Working purely sequentially ignores the modern parallel processing.

None-of-these does not apply, since both modes are in use.

Multi-core processors run several instruction streams at the same time.

Parallel processing greatly speeds up large computing tasks.
