A graphical user interface that provides access to system services A type of process that runs in the background A hardware component that manages memory operations A command-line interface that allows users to interact with the operating system 2 / 10 What is a deadlock in the context of operating systems? A situation in which multiple processes are competing for resources A situation in which a process consumes more resources than allocated A situation in which two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for another to release resources A situation in which a process enters a state of infinite execution 3 / 10 What is the role of an input/output (I/O) manager in an operating system?
