Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LWP (Lightweight process) is a programming entity that is created by the system to represent individual threads within a process. It is placed between the user threads (created by the application) and the kernel threads (managed by the operating system). Therefore, Option C is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because LWP is not a processor. Option B is incorrect as LWP is not placed between system and kernel threads. Option D is incorrect as one-to-one multithreading models do not make use of LWPs.
