Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a process needs service from an external source and sends a message searching for the service, it enters a wait state while it waits for a response. Therefore, the correct choice is B - WAIT. The other options are incorrect, as a process in a STOP state would not be waiting for service, a process in a BUSY state is actively using system resources and not waiting, and a RESPONSE state is not a recognized state in process-based DO/S.
