Identify the error in this ARM assembly code snippet:
B 100
MOV r0, #10
100:
MOV r1, #20
AMOV instructions cannot use immediate values.
BThe branch instruction must be 'BR' instead of 'B'.
CThere is no error; the code is correct.
DLabel '100' is invalid because it starts with a number.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check label naming rules

    Labels in ARM assembly cannot start with a digit; '100' is invalid.
  2. Step 2: Verify branch and MOV syntax

    The branch instruction 'B' is correct, and MOV can use immediate values like #10.
  3. Final Answer:

    Label '100' is invalid because it starts with a number. -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Labels cannot start with digits [OK]
Quick Trick: Labels must start with a letter, not a number [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking 'B' is wrong branch syntax
  • Believing MOV can't use immediate values
  • Assuming numeric labels are allowed
