  4. swap
Explanation
Answer - D - A Linux system uses swap for virtual memory.

Key Takeaway: Linux has two forms of swap space, the swap partition and the swap file. The swap partition is an independent section of the hard disk used solely for swapping and no other files can reside there. The swap file is a special file in the file system that resides amongst your system and data files.
