In a paged and segmented system using combined associative/direct mapping, ________.
A) missing-segment faults, segment-overflow exceptions and segment-protection exceptions can never occur during dynamic address translation
B) the more tables a system maintains in main memory, the fewer processes it can support
C) the associative memory is unimportant to the efficient operation of the dynamic address translation
D) the benefit of maintaining only a few of the tables in main memory at any one time is that address translation proceeds faster at execution time

Question
