Correct Answer

Explanation

The Z80 microprocessor has two sets of registers, the main registers and the alternate registers, and only one set of registers can be used at a time. The switching of registers and data transfer is performed by the EXX instruction. This instruction swaps the contents of the main and alternate register sets, allowing the processor to access the alternate registers.
