Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is A. New.
A process state is a stage in the life cycle of a process. The four main
process states are:- New: The process has been created but has not yet started executing.
- Ready: The process is ready to execute but is waiting for a processor to become available.
- Running: The process is currently executing on a processor.
- Finished: The process has completed execution.
The New state
is not a valid process state because a process cannot execute until it has been created and moved to the Ready state.
