In which of the storage placement strategies a program is placed in the smallest available hole in the main memory?

  • A.best fit
  • B.first fit
  • C.worst fit
  • D.buddy

Answer: A

Correct answer: best fit

Best fit searches the free list for the smallest hole large enough, so the least space is wasted on this allocation. The drawback is that the remainders it leaves are tiny and unusable, so external fragmentation builds up over time.
