Consider the the following codes exactly as described. Which is likely to give the lowest overall power consumption if E is high for only 10% of the clock cycles but A and B change on 90% of the clock cycles. For this question assume that the energy per operation is as follows:

Adder = 50 fJ

Register with enable = 10 fJ

Mux = 5 fJ
