Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiprogramming refers to the management of multiple processes within a uniprocessor system where the CPU switches rapidly between multiple processes to give the appearance of concurrent execution. Structured applications are a design methodology for developing software and are not related to managing multiple processes on a uniprocessor. Distributed processing refers to the coordination of multiple processors in a network to perform a task. Multiprocessing refers to the use of multiple processors in a system to execute tasks in parallel. Therefore, A is the best choice for this question.
