(B) In paging, physical memory is broken into fixed-sized blocks called pages.
(C) In paging, logical memory is also broken into blocks of the same size called frames
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) and (B) only.

The distinction between paging (fixed-sized blocks) and segmentation (variable-sized blocks) for memory management.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- (A): True. Segmentation partitions memory into variable-sized segments, reflecting the user's memory perspective. - (B): True. Paging divides physical memory into fixed-size blocks, which are termed pages. - (C): False. Paging divides logical memory into pages, whereas physical memory blocks are called frames.
