What is the difference b/n Option A and Option B?

I think they are same. So, the answer should be D.

@Shewangizaw Bogale.

Option A represents parallel execution and option B represents concurrent execution. There is a difference in parallel and concurrent execution, In parallel, multiple programs are executed by CPU simultaneously and In Concurrent execution, programs are executed in a time-sharing manner. In multiprogramming, multiple programs reside in main memory and then CPU executes them in a concurrent manner.

Option C represents Multiprocessing.
