How is a microprocessor different from an integrated circuit?

A) Microprocessors are the size of your thumb and integrated circuits are the size of your hand.
B) Microprocessors are faster, smaller and less expensive than integrated circuits.
C) Microprocessors control the flow of electrons and integrated circuits control the flow of protons.
D) Microprocessors include tape and disk storage whereas integrated circuits are part of an operating system.

A microprocessor is a type of integrated circuit that contains the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. While both microprocessors and integrated circuits are tiny electronic circuits containing many components, microprocessors are specifically designed to process instructions and data, while integrated circuits can perform a wide range of functions. Additionally, microprocessors are generally faster, smaller, and less expensive than other types of integrated circuits.
