Question

When a branch is taken in beq or bne instructions, an offset is added to the PC instead of overwriting PC with a new address. What is a disadvantage of this branching method?

		Since the branch offset specification is limited to 16 bits of the machine-coded instruction, any branch taken will have a restricted jump distance
		The resulting machine code cannot be loaded anywhere in instruction memory
		Adding an offset to the PC may overflow that register
		More clock cycles are required to update the PC when adding an offset
