Answer: B - Virtual address space mapping is written to think it is the only program running on an operating system. When an application needs memory to work with, it tells the operating system’s memory manager how much memory it needs. The operating system carves out that amount of memory and assigns it to the requesting application. Once the process is assigned its own memory space, it can address this portion however it wishes. Virtual address mapping allows the different processes to have their own memory space. The memory manger ensures no processes improperly interact with another process’s memory.
