Correct Answer

Explanation

The Zilog Z80 is a microprocessor that follows the CISC (complex instruction set computing) architecture. It was introduced in 1976 and was used in many popular home computers of the 1980s, such as the ZX Spectrum and the Commodore 128. In contrast, AVR, Atmel, and Blackfin are examples of microprocessors with RISC (reduced instruction set computing) architectures.
