What does Execute Bit (EDB) in Intel processors do?

  1. Increases processor speed

  2. Enhances graphics rendering

  3. Allows processor to identify executable memory areas

  4. Reduces power consumption

The correct answer is: Allows processor to identify executable memory areas

Execute Bit (EDB) is a security feature that allows the processor to identify executable memory areas. This enables the processor to prevent malicious code from being executed, increasing system security. Option A, increasing processor speed, is incorrect because EDB does not have a direct impact on processor speed. Option B, enhancing graphics rendering, is incorrect because EDB is not related to graphics processing. Option D, reducing power consumption, is incorrect because EDB is not designed for power management purposes.
