The process of transferring data intended for a peripheral device into a disk (or intermediate store) so that it can be transferred to peripheral at a more convenient time or in bulk, is known as

  • A.multiprogramming
  • B.spooling
  • C.caching
  • D.virtual programming

Answer: B

Correct answer: spooling

Spooling - simultaneous peripheral operation on line - writes output destined for a slow device to a disk queue instead, and a separate process feeds it to the device later. The program is freed at once rather than being held back to the speed of the printer, and several jobs' output can be interleaved fairly.
