Normally user programs are prevented from handling $${\rm I}/O$$ directly by $${\rm I}/O$$ instructions in the for $$CPU$$ having explicit $${\rm I}/O$$ instructions, such $${\rm I}/O$$ protection is ensured by having the $${\rm I}/O$$ instructions privilege in $$CPU$$ with memory mapped $${\rm I}/O$$ there is no explicit $${\rm I}/O$$ instruction. Which one of the following is true for a $$CPU$$ with memory mapped $${\rm I}/O$$?
A
$${\rm I}/O$$ protection ensured by operating system routines(s)
B
$${\rm I}/O$$ protection is ensured by a hardware trap
C
$${\rm I}/O$$ protection is ensured during system configuration
D
$${\rm I}/O$$ protection is not possible.

Consider the following C program:
double foo(double); /* Line 1 */
int main () {
  double da, db;

no compile warning or error
B
some compiler-warnings not leading to unintended results
C
some compiler-warnings due to type-mismatch eventually leading to unintended results
D
compiler errors
