Dwfi;
Step-by-Step Solution

    ARM assembly instructions are case-insensitive but typically written in uppercase without parentheses or semicolons.

    WFI is the standard syntax for the WFI instruction.
    wfi() uses parentheses which are invalid.
    WAIT FOR INTERRUPT is a descriptive phrase, not assembly.
    wfi; uses a semicolon which is not part of the instruction syntax.

    WFI -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Correct syntax is just the instruction name in uppercase [OK]
Quick Trick: Use uppercase instruction without parentheses or semicolons [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Adding parentheses after WFI
  • Using descriptive phrases instead of instructions
  • Appending semicolons to instructions
