What type of kernel configuration runs basic scheduling routines in kernel space but offloads device drivers and file systems to user space to maximize stability? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
What type of kernel configuration runs basic scheduling routines in kernel space but offloads device drivers and file systems to user space to maximize stability?
A. Monolithic Kernel
B. Hybrid Architecture
C. Microkernel
D. Exokernel Layout
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Microkernels improve system resilience by restricting kernel space to essential primitives, isolating driver crashes from bringing down the core OS.
Explanation:
The memory management subsystem tracks memory allocation status, allocating chunks to active processes and reclaiming them upon task completion.
