Answer: (iv) Multiplication

Booth's algorithm is used for signed binary multiplication (two's complement).

It efficiently multiplies two signed numbers by reducing the number of add/subtract steps via recoding of the multiplier, handling both positive and negative operands without separate sign correction.

Correct option: (iv) Multiplication — not for floating-point, character coding or division.
