Solution

The correct answer is:

b. The character stored in the Receive Data Register (RDR) is copied to the requested general purpose register in the CPU, and the Receive Data Ready (RDR) bit is set to zero.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. The "lw" instruction is executed by the CPU to read a character from the serial Receive Data Register (RDR).

  2. The character stored in the RDR is then copied to the requested general purpose register in the CPU. This is the primary function of the "lw" instruction - to load word from memory into a register.

  3. After the character has been copied, the Receive Data Ready (RDR) bit is set to zero. This indicates that the RDR is now empty and ready to receive the next character.
