This question was previously asked in

The correct answer is

Subroutine address

When the processor executes a CALL instruction, it first saves the return address (the address of the instruction that follows the CALL) by pushing it onto the stack.

It then loads the program counter with the address given in the CALL instruction, i.e. the starting address of the subroutine. Execution therefore continues from the subroutine address.

At the end of the subroutine, the RET instruction pops the saved return address into the program counter, so the main program resumes just after the CALL. The RESET address (0000H) is used only after a reset.

Hence, the answer is Subroutine address.
