Answer

The correct choice is "TRUE"

Explanation:

  • MARIE (Machine Architecture that is Really Intuitive and Easy) is a simplified computer architecture designed for educational purposes.
  • MARIE follows a common bus scheme, where multiple entities in the system share a single bus for data transfer.
  • In the MARIE architecture, the common bus acts as a communication pathway for various components, including the memory unit, the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), the input/output (I/O) unit, and the control unit. These entities take turns accessing the bus to transfer data or instructions between them.
  • The common bus scheme simplifies the design of the MARIE architecture and allows for easy communication and data transfer among different components. However, it also means that only one entity can use the bus at a time, leading to potential contention and limitations in terms of concurrent operations.
