    In assembly language, the 'MOV AX, BX' instruction does what?

    a)
    Moves the values of AX and BX to memory.
    b)
    Adds the value of BX to AX.
    c)
    Copies the content of the BX register into the AX register.
    d)
    Swaps the contents of the AX and BX registers.

    Explanation

    The MOV (move) instruction copies data from a source operand to a destination operand. In the format `MOV destination, source`, the content of `source` (BX) is copied to `destination` (AX). The original content of BX remains unchanged.
