Explanation:

1. `.model small` and `.stack 100h`: Memory model and stack size definitions.

2. `.data` section: Declares the data segment.

   - `num1 dw 5`: Defines a word-sized variable named "num1" with value 5.

   - `num2 dw 7`: Defines a word-sized variable named "num2" with value 7.

   - `result dw ?`: Defines a word-sized uninitialized variable named "result".

3. `.code` section: Contains the main code.

   - `mov ax, num1`: Move the value of "num1" into the AX register.

   - `cmp ax, num2`: Compare the value in AX with the value in "num2".

   - `jge greater`: Jump to the "greater" label if AX is greater than or equal to "num2".

   - `mov ax, num2`: Move the value of "num2" into AX (if AX is not greater).

   - `jmp end_prog`: Unconditional jump to the "end_prog" label.

   - `greater:`: Label for the case when the first number is greater.

   - `mov ax, num1`: Move the value of "num1" into AX.

   - `end_prog:`: Label for the end of the program.

   - `mov result, ax`: Store the result in the "result" variable.

   - `mov ah, 4Ch`: Set the exit code for DOS.

   - `int 21h`: Call DOS interrupt to exit the program.
