Answer

Correct Option: (ii) 5

Explanation

The 8085 microprocessor has 5 flags in its flag register (also called Status Register or Flag Register):

Flag	Name	Symbol	Purpose
S	Sign	S	Set if MSB of result = 1 (negative)
Z	Zero	Z	Set if result = 0
AC	Auxiliary Carry	AC	Carry from bit 3 to bit 4 (BCD)
P	Parity	P	Set if result has even parity
CY	Carry	CY	Carry out of MSB / Borrow

Total = 5 flags

Notes

• Flag register is 8-bit, but only 5 bits are used (bits 0,1,2,4,6 typically).
• Bits 3 and 5 are reserved/unused in 8085.
• 8086 has 9 flags (adds OF, DF, IF, TF).
• Z80 has 4 flags in F register (S,Z,HC,P/V,N,C).

Final Answer

8085 has 5 flags → Option (ii)
