Answer 1

The correct next steps in the process after the CPU has fetched the data requested are **decode, execute**.

Here's a brief breakdown of this process:

1. **Fetch**: The CPU retrieves (fetches) the instruction or data from memory.
2. **Decode**: The fetched instruction is decoded to determine what actions are required.
3. **Execute**: The CPU executes the decoded instruction, performing the necessary operations.

Thus, the appropriate response would be **decode, execute**.
