Difficulty: Hard
About this MCQ
This Hard Operating Systems MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Select the accurate description of Semaphore.”
The accepted answer is C. A synchronization variable used to control access to shared resources by multiple processes.. Select the accurate description of Semaphore is answered by A synchronization variable used to control access to shared resources by multiple processes option C Option A The smallest unit of execution within a process that can be scheduled independently does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A synchronization variable used to control access to shared resources by multiple processes Option B A memory management technique that gives an application the illusion of a large continuous memory space using disk storage does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A synchronization variable used to control access to shared resources by multiple processes Remaining alternatives A program.
- A. The smallest unit of execution within a process that can be scheduled independently.
Why not A: “The smallest unit of execution within a process that can be scheduled independently.” is not correct. The accepted answer is C. A synchronization variable used to control access to shared resources by multiple processes..
