The program in a computer compares two unsigned numbers A and B by performing a subtraction A - B and updating the status bits. Let A = 01000001 and B = 10000100. 

a. Evaluate the difference and interpret the binary result. 

b. Determine the values of status bits C (borrow) and Z. 

c. List the conditional branch instructions from Table 8-11 that will have a true condition.
