Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Parallel processing.
Parallel processing executes multiple tasks at the same time, usually using separate processing resources such as multiple processors or cores. Serial and sequential processing execute tasks one after another. Concurrent processing can make tasks appear to progress together through interleaving, but strict simultaneous execution is parallel processing.
