Which one of the following manages the transfer of data and address among various components ?

In computer architecture, the Control Bus is responsible for managing and coordinating the transfer of data and addresses among various components. It carries control signals, timing signals, and status signals (such as Read/Write commands and Interrupts) that synchronize the activities of the system.

• Data Bus: Acts as the actual path for moving data between the CPU, memory, and peripheral devices.
• Address Bus: Carries the physical address of the memory location or I/O device that the CPU wants to access.

While the Data and Address buses provide the pathways for information, the Control Bus provides the necessary management signals to ensure these transfers happen correctly and at the right time.
