Suppose that the register and the register have the bit configuration. Only the three A leftmost bits of are compared with memory K words because has l's in these positions. Because of its organization, this type of memory is uniquely suited to parallel searches by data association. This type of memory is known as

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C. content addressable memory
Explanation
Comparing memory words in parallel against the masked argument register is how content-addressable (associative) memory works.
