A computer user is downloading software from the Internet and notices the following at the end of the install file: x86.exe. Which of the following statements BEST represents what the x86.exe means in the installation file?

x86 only supports an installation on a 64-bit CPU architecture
x86 requires a specific type of internet connection for installation
x86 only supports an installation on a 32-bit CPU architecture
x86 is a file format for sound files

The correct answer is: x86 only supports an installation on a 32-bit CPU architecture

The x86.exe at the end of the installation file indicates that the software can only be installed on a 32-bit CPU architecture. This means that the computer or device must have a 32-bit processor for the software to run properly. The other options are incorrect because x86 does not refer to an internet connection or a file format for sound files. While some programs may require a specific internet connection or have a file format related to sound files, this is not the case for x86. Additionally, x86 is not limited to 64-bit architectures as option A suggests. It specifically refers to 32-bit architectures.
