An $8-$stage pipeline processor requires NOPs to avoid hazards. The compiler is aware of this and inserts appropriate NOP instructions into the code. What would happen if the processed code now is run on a single$-$cycle professor?

The code would not work correctly because the NOPs are in the wrong place

The code would not work correctly because there are too many NOPs

The program would execute correctly

Conditional branches would not work correctly, due to the zero output from the ALU
