Program in execution is termed as :
Answer: C
A program in execution is called a process.
A program is a passive set of instructions stored on disk. When it is loaded into memory and run, the operating system creates a process for it, with its own program counter, registers, memory space and state such as ready, running or waiting.
Data is the information a program works on. 'System' is too general a term, covering the whole computer or its software. A cycle, such as the instruction or machine cycle, is one step of the processor's work, not a running program.
