Q.2 An operating system must schedule all the processes in the main memory (using a scheduling algorithm) to
run on the CPU at equal intervals, Each time a dock interrupt occurs the interrupt handler checks how much

algorithm in the kernel picks a different process to run, what is each switch of the CPU from one process to
another called?

A. Task switching

B. Context switching

C. CPU switching

D. process switching
