Explanation:

- Main memory (Option 1): This is the primary storage, also known as RAM. It's not within the CPU but is used by the CPU to store data temporarily for quick access. Main memory is volatile, meaning it loses data when the power is off.

- Secondary memory (Option 2): This refers to external storage devices like hard drives and SSDs. It is non-volatile, storing data permanently, but it's not part of the CPU.

- Register (Option 3): Correct! Registers are small, high-speed storage locations within the CPU. They hold binary values temporarily for manipulation or calculations. Registers help speed up data access and processing.

- Both a and b (Option 4): This option incorrectly combines Main and Secondary memory. Neither is used within the CPU for temporary data manipulation.
