Exam 200-201 topic 1 question 14 discussion

D is correct. "The range of virtual addresses that is available to a process is called the virtual address space for the process",

"D" is correct (for the certification exam) There is an exactly same question in book (chap 11): 13. What is a virtual address space in Windows? A - The physical memory allocated for processes B - A temporary space for processes to execute C - The set of virtual memory addresses that references the physical memory object a process is permitted to use D - The virtual memory address used for storing applications Correct answer: C. A virtual address space in Windows is the set of virtual memory addresses that references the physical memory object a process is permitted to use.

is correct

B. set of virtual memory addresses that it can use

The answer is D. set of virtual memory addresses that can be used. In a Windows operating system, each process has its own virtual address space, which is a range of virtual memory addresses that can be used by the process. This virtual address space provides an abstraction layer between the process and the physical memory, allowing the process to access memory as if it were contiguous and not shared with other processes. The virtual addresses are then translated to physical addresses by the operating system's memory management hardware.

Correct Answer D: the set of virtual memory addresses that it can use

D IS CORRECT

The virtual address space for a process is the set of virtual memory addresses that it can use. The address space for each process is private and cannot be accessed by other processes unless it is shared. Answer is D .

The virtual address space for a process is the set of virtual memory addresses that it can use. The address space for each process is private and cannot be accessed by other processes unless it is shared.

A virtual address space in Windows is the set of virtual memory addresses that references the physical memory object a process is permitted to use.

Should be answer C Virtual address space allows for process isolation and makes sure processes can't access each others memory (easily). So this should be considered a secuirty measure. And it's also build in on OS level so that why C is correct. Answer D is wat a application will get when it's using virtual address space but it's not a definition of the principle.
