It is the primary component that controls and coordinates the activities of all the other hardware and software components in the computer system. The CPU performs the majority of the processing and decision-making tasks, making it a crucial part of the computer's operation. The monitor, keyboard, and mouse are peripheral devices that provide input and output, but they do not have the same level of control and processing capabilities as the CPU.Rate this question:
