A page fault
Answer: C
Correct answer: is an access to a page not currently in memory
A page fault is the trap raised when a program references a page that is not resident: the hardware interrupts, the operating system finds the page on disk, brings it into a free frame - evicting another page if necessary - updates the page table and restarts the instruction. It is a normal event in a paged system, not an error.
