Show answer & explanation

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

Explanation

fork() creates a new child process that is a near-duplicate of the caller, matching (IV). exec() replaces the calling process's memory image by loading and running a new program, matching (III). kill() sends a specified signal to another process identified by its PID, matching (I). exit() terminates the calling process, matching (II). This gives A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II, option (iii).
