D) Placing the job in a waiting queue

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first step in the algorithm to load a job in a fixed partition is to determine the job's requested memory size. This is necessary to determine if the job can be loaded into an available partition. Only after this step can the algorithm proceed with comparing the job size to the size of the largest partition, setting a counter or placing the job in a waiting queue.
