    The answer for 8086 the overflow flag is b) set when Signed numbers go out of their range after an arithmetic operation .

    The overflow flag is used to test if an integer overflows after the last operation. The overflow flag is set when it overflows to a low data value in memory. And this can happen if the memory address contains an unsigned long (unsigned integers have a limited range).

    In 8086, the overflow flag is set when the result of an arithmetic operation does not fit in the range defined by a signed number. The overflow flag can be used to detect when you have overflowed a signed number after performing an arithmetic operation. For example, assume that you are trying to store a value of 12346789 into a variable with type int.
