Control bus: is used by the CPU to communicate with devices that are contained within the computer. This occurs through physical connections such as cables or printed circuits.

Bus arbiter : is a device used in a multi-master bus system to decide which bus master will be allowed to control the bus for each bus cycle.

Bus arbitration : is the process by which the next device to become the bus master is selected. The selection of bus master is usually done on the priority basis.

It is asking pins so it should be interrupt pins.

Bus arbitration is a process.
