Correct answer: C
Answer: Ready Queue
Explanation: A process that is resident in main memory and is ready and waiting for execution is placed in the ready queue. The ready queue contains all processes that are prepared to run but are waiting for the CPU scheduler to dispatch them.
Job Queue: Holds jobs waiting to be admitted into main memory (often on disk).
Ready Queue: Contains processes in main memory that are ready to run and waiting for CPU allocation.
Execution Queue: Refers to processes currently executing on the CPU (i.e., running).
Wait Queue: Holds processes that are blocked, waiting for I/O or some event to occur.
