Solution

The speed of a computer processor is measured in Gigahertz (GHz).

 

• Gigahertz (GHz): This is the most common unit used to measure the clock speed of a computer processor. It indicates how many cycles per second the processor can execute, with 1 GHz being equal to 1 billion cycles per second. The higher the GHz, the faster the processor can process instructions.

 

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

• (a) BPS (Bits Per Second): This is used to measure data transfer speed, not the processor speed.
• (c) Baud: This is used in telecommunications to measure the rate of signal change, not the speed of a processor.
• (d) MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second): While MIPS is sometimes used to measure a processor's performance, it’s not as common as GHz for describing processor speed.
