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.
