About this MCQ
This Easy Operating Systems MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best describes Process?”
The accepted answer is B. A program in execution, including its code, data, and current activity state.. A program in execution including its code data and current activity state is the person body or term that satisfies Which of the following best describes Process option B Option A The process of storing the state of a running process so another process can be resumed later does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A program in execution including its code data and current activity state Option C Software that allows the operating system to communicate with a specific hardware device does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A program in execution including its code data and current activity state Remaining alternatives A.
- A. The process of storing the state of a running process so another process can be resumed later.
Why not A: “The process of storing the state of a running process so another process can be resumed later.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. A program in execution, including its code, data, and current activity state..
