What part of the computer controls the clipboard? |

[Edit]
Two parts. On the software side of things, the operating system defines or allocates space for whatever you have cut or copied to put on the clipboard. On the hardware side of things, clipboard contents are held in memory.
So if you highlight this text, right-click, and choose copy, your operating system will take the text highlighted by the mouse, allocate enough space in physical memory to hold that data, and then store it in the space allocated.
