Best answer 1 1 vote It is mentioned during the execution of Halt instruction, so the instruction execution must be restarted and the return address must be 328 for the interrupt. For completed HALT instruction, the return address must be 328 + 4 assuming size of HALT instruction is one word- 4 bytes.
