I got this question during an internship interview.

Query is from Intel IA-32 Pentium Architecture-1 in section Processor Families of Computer Architecture

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) jumps to the memory location loop if the result of the most recent arithmetic op is greater than 0

The best I can explain: This instruction is used to cause a branch based on the outcome of the arithmetic operation.
