Show answer & explanation

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

Explanation

Least frequently used (LFU) is a cache/page-replacement policy that discards the page accessed the fewest number of times, matching (II). A critical section is, by definition, the part of a process's code that accesses a shared resource and that only one process may execute at a time, matching (III). A loosely coupled multiprocessor system is one where each processor has its own private local memory rather than one shared memory module, matching (I). A distributed operating system spreads its OS routines/services across the available processors instead of centralizing them, matching (IV). This gives A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV, option (iii).
