Answer: C) Prefetching

Explanation:

Cache prefetching is the technique in which the processor boots the performance of the execution by fetching the data from the actual storage information. It basically examine the hardware memory that basically access the patterns to fill cache with the data.

The computer processor, the prefetching of the data is required from the cache memory. Thus, the prefetching of the data and accessing it from the cache is generally increase the order of the magnitude rather than access it directly from the main memory.

And all the other options are incorrect as they do not involve in the cache fetching by the accessing the memory pattern.
