Solution

The correct option is B Address bus

A physical connection between the microprocessor memory and other parts of the microcomputer is known as Address bus.

Address Bus. The address bus carries the address of the piece of memory or I/O device to be read from or written to. It is a unidirectional bus, which is to say that data travels only one way; from the CPU to memory. The number of lines on the bus determines the number of addressable memory elements.

Somehow they have to be transferred between the CPU and memory. You can have two buses to transfer them independently. ... Address and data buses may have different widths, that is, they may carry different number of bits. Yes, memory bus usually means data bus (that carries the memory data).
