What happens to the mouse click (input) when received by the subsystem?

• Acts as a buffer to control the inputs so the CPU is not overloaded

• Generates and interrupts to the CPU (brain of the computer)

• Fetches and executes the instructions from memory

• Compiles them to make them smaller which means they are stored in bits (0, 1)

Which of these are examples of an instruction being processed by the CPU.
