Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Direct Memory Access (DMA) transfer schemes are primarily categorized into Burst Mode and Cycle Stealing Mode. While Burst Mode allows the DMA controller to transfer a block of data continuously, Cycle Stealing Mode transfers data one word at a time by stealing bus cycles. Thus, the scheme other than burst mode is Cycle Stealing Mode.
