Correct answer: A
Option 1 : OS system call
In computing, particularly in the context of the Unix operating system and its work likes, fork is an operation whereby a process creates a copy of itself. It is usually a system call, implemented in the kernel. Fork is the primary (and historically, only) method of process creation on Unix - like operating systems.
