A wait state of zero in hardware means the
memory is faster than the processor in terms of speed.
processor speed is higher than that of the memory.
processor speed is lower than that of the memory.
processor and the memory are equally matched in speed.

A wait state of zero in hardware means that the processor and the memory are equally matched in speed. In computing, a wait state refers to the delay experienced by a computer processor when accessing memory. A wait state of zero means that there is no delay, implying that the processor and memory are operating at the same speed.
