What is a processor?

  1. A type of computer memory

  2. The part of a computer that performs calculations

  3. A unit of data storage

  4. A type of software

The correct answer is: The part of a computer that performs calculations

A processor is the part of a computer that performs calculations and controls the operations of the computer. This makes options A, C, and D incorrect. Memory (option A) is a storage unit that stores instructions and data, but it does not perform calculations. The processor uses memory to perform calculations. Data storage (option C) and software (option D) do not perform calculations on their own, they require a processor to execute instructions and process data.
