Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation

The 80386 processor uses pipelining to achieve single cycle performance. The pipelining process involves three stages, namely, fetch, decode, and execute. The address calculations are performed as the instruction proceeds down the line, allowing an instruction to be started and completed on every clock edge.
