Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

System resources describe specific hardware components (such as a printer or graphics card) and the locations in memory, input/output addresses, and interrupt request (IRQ) channels assigned to them. This information is important for the operating system to properly manage and coordinate access to these resources by different applications and processes. RAM allocation (A) and Windows threads (B) are not considered system resources, while slowing down during high activity (C) is a consequence of resource contention and not a specific resource itself.
