timer interrupt

Explanation:

A timer is an interrupt that is generated by the PC's system timer. When this interrupt occurs, the ROM BIOS interrupt handler is called and it increments a count in the ROM BIOS. It interrupts the system 18.2 times per second. It is used for multitasking. Hence we conclude that timer interrupt is the answer.
