The move with mask instruction uses a mask to filter out bits that are not to be transferred from the source to the destination.

Move With Mask

A programming instruction that moves bits from a source to a destination while applying a mask to selectively modify them.

Mask

A mask in digital computing and data processing is a pattern of bits used to accept or reject certain bits within another set of data by applying logical AND, OR, or XOR operations, often for purposes such as manipulating, extracting, or hiding data.

Transfer

The action of moving data or control from one part of a system to another, such as from memory to a processor or between devices.

  • Comprehend the function of masks in move instructions and how data is filtered.

Final Answer :
True
Explanation :
The mask is used to select which bits from the source will be transferred to the destination. The bits that are not selected by the mask will be filtered out. Therefore, option A is true.
