Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Explanation

Latency is the total time taken to complete a single task/operation, matching IV. Delay refers to the time elapsed before the next activity can start, matching III. Throughput is the number of tasks completed in a given time period, matching I. An interrupt causes the currently executing activity to be deferred so another routine can run, matching II. So the correct match is A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II.
