B) tells the process to execute the fault routine.
C) latches outputs when energized.
D) latches outputs when de-energized.
JSR Instruction
An assembly language instruction meaning "Jump to SubRoutine," directing the program flow to a specified subroutine.
Subroutine Area
Part of a program dedicated to a subroutine, which is a set of instructions designed to perform a frequently used operation.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
JSR (Jump to Subroutine) instruction is used for calling a subroutine from the main program. When the processor encounters a JSR instruction, it saves the address of the next instruction in the stack and jumps to the specified memory location to execute the subroutine. After the subroutine is executed, the processor returns to the instruction immediately following the JSR instruction by retrieving the address from the stack.
