Which register provides the memory address during the Fetch stage?
Explanation
During the Fetch stage the Program Counter (PC) provides the memory address of the instruction to be fetched. The instruction is then loaded into the Instruction Register (IR).

Hint
The PC always points to the next instruction — it guides the fetch.
