Question 1
Microprocessors & Microcontrollers8086 Addressing Modes

The 8086 instruction MOV AX,[BX] uses which addressing concept for the memory operand?

  • ARegister indirect addressing
  • BImmediate addressing
  • CImplied addressing
  • DPort addressing only
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Register indirect addressing
Explanation: BX contains the effective offset address of the memory operand, making this a register-indirect memory reference.
