Sharon Long · Answer 1

The answer is "both voluntary and non-voluntary context switch".

Explanation:

The description to this question can be described as follows:

Whenever processing requires resource for participant contextual switch, it is used if it is more in the situation of I/O tied. In which semi-voluntary background change can be used when time slice ends or even when processes of greater priority enter.

In option a, It requires voluntary context switches in I / O bound. In option b, it requires a non-voluntary context switch for CPU bound.
