Whenever CPU detects an interrupt, what it do with current state ?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Save it
Before servicing an interrupt the CPU saves its current state - the program counter and the registers - so that when the service routine finishes it can resume the interrupted program exactly where it left off. Discarding the state would make return impossible, and finishing the current program first would defeat the purpose of interrupting.
