The registers in a computer's CPU are a small set of high-speed, temporary storage locations used to store data that the ALU needs to access quickly. These can include the values to be added, subtracted, or otherwise manipulated by the ALU. The other options - machine cycles, cache, and cores - do not refer to specific places within the CPU where data is held temporarily for processing by the ALU.
