The memory unit of a computer has $256 \mathrm{k}$ words of 32 -bits each. The computer has an instruction format with four fields: 1. An operation field 2. A mode field to specify one of 8 addressing modes 3. A Register address field to specify one of 120 processor registers. 4. A memory address. Then what is the number of bits in each field respectively if the instruction is in one memory word? (A) $4,3,7,18$ (B) $3,4,7,18$ (C) $2,1,6,23$ (D) $3,7,4,18$
