Solution

The answer is c. 6 bit.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The number of registers in the system is 32.

  2. To represent 32 different items, you need a binary number.

  3. The binary number system is base 2, so you calculate the number of bits needed by using the formula 2^n, where n is the number of bits.

  4. You need to find the smallest 'n' such that 2^n is equal to or greater than 32.

  5. 2^5 = 32, so 5 bits could represent 32 registers. However, in computer systems, we usually use a number of bits that is a power of 2. The next power of 2 after 5 is 6.

  6. Therefore, the register id is 6 bits long.
