Consider a system containing 18 processors and three jobs: job A contains 11 runnable processes, job B contains eight runnable processes and job C contains four runnable processes. The system contains 18 processors. If the system uses dynamic partitioning scheduling, how are processors allocated to jobs?
A) A receives seven processors; B receives seven processors; and C receives four processors.
B) A receives eight processors; B receives six processors; and C receives four processors.
C) Each job receives six processors.
D) Each job receives four processors; the remaining six processors are reserved for incoming jobs.

Dynamic partitioning scheduling allocates processors to jobs based on their current needs. In this case, job A has the most runnable processes, so it receives the most processors (seven). Job B has the second most runnable processes, so it receives the second most processors (seven). Job C has the fewest runnable processes, so it receives the fewest processors (four).
