Correct Answer: Scheduling is the activity of the deciding when process will receive the resources they request FCS ---> FCSFS stands for First Come First Served In FCFS the job that has been waiting the longest is served next Round Robin Scheduling--->Round Robin scheduling is a scheduling method where each process gets a small quantity of time to run and then it is preempted and the next process gets to run This is called time-sharing and gives the effect of all the processes running at the same time Shortest Job First ---> The Shortest job First scheduling algorithm is a nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm that chooses the job that will execute the shortest amount of time Priority Scheduling--->Priority scheduling is a scheduling method where at all times the highest priority process is assigned the resource
