    Q1. What is the main benefit of out-of-order execution in a processor?

    • A) Improved instruction-level parallelism
    • B) Simplified instruction decoding
    • C) Reduced power consumption
    • D) Increased cache hits

    Answer: Improved instruction-level parallelism

    Explanation: Out-of-order execution allows the processor to execute instructions as soon as their operands are available, improving overall instruction-level parallelism.
