A multilevel page table is preferred in comparison to a single level page table for translating virtual address to physical address because___________
A)it reduces the memory access time to read or write a memory location
B)it helps to reduce the size of page table needed to implement the virtual address space of a process
C)it is required by the translation lookaside buffer
D)it helps to reduce the number of page faults in page replacement algorithms
