What feature does Intel's Execute Bit (EDB) provide?

It enhances the processor's overclocking capabilities
It is a hardware-based security feature
It increases the Bluetooth frequency
It expands the range of NFC

The correct answer is: It is a hardware-based security feature

Intel's Execute Bit (EDB) feature enhances hardware-based security on the processor. This is critical in preventing malicious code from running on a computer when browsing the internet or opening files. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not relate to EDB's purpose of improving security measures on the processor. Option A is referring to overclocking capabilities, which is the process of increasing the clock rate of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) to run faster. Option C discusses Bluetooth frequency, which is used for wireless communication with devices, while option D mentions NFC, which is a technology used for contactless communication. Neither of these options has any connection to EDB's intended purpose of increasing security measures on the processor.
