Answer:
0x00015C
Explanation:
Given that the counter is executing a 16-bit instruction ( currently )
addressed as 0x00015A
The counter keeps/records the address of the next executable instruction hence the current contents of the program counter
= 0x00015A + 16 bits note: ( 16 bits = 2 bytes )
hence current content of program counter = 0x00015C
