Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In a resident operating system, the Loader must reside in main memory under all situations. While Assembler, Linker, and Compiler are development tools used during program creation, the Loader is essential for transferring programs from secondary storage into main memory for execution. Therefore, it remains a core resident component.
