Question

The advantage of _______ is that it can reference memory without paying the price of having a full memory address in the instruction.

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2014 Paper 1 Question Paper (28-Dec-2014)
The correct answer is

Register Indirect addressing

In register indirect addressing the instruction names a register, and that register holds the memory address of the operand.

Only a short register number is stored in the instruction, yet the operand is still in memory, so a full memory address field is avoided.

Direct and indexed addressing carry a full address or displacement, and register addressing does not reference memory at all.

Hence, Register Indirect addressing.
