Concept:The CPU instruction cycle describes how a processor handles each machine instruction.
Explanation:The cycle is also called the fetch-decode-execute cycle.
Its main stages are fetching, decoding, and executing an instruction.
The very first step is to fetch the instruction from memory.
The CPU reads the instruction located at the address in the program counter.
After fetching, the CPU decodes the instruction to understand it.
Then the CPU executes the instruction to complete the cycle.
Thus, the first step cannot be decode, execute, or "get".
Answer:Fetch (Option C).
