RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

Allocating a specific block of the CPU's processing time to a newly launched program.

Allocating a specific block of the CPU's processing time to a newly launched program is a core scheduling task exclusive to System Software (the operating system).

Managing storage, executing scripts, and accepting input/output can be performed or facilitated by application-level programs, not just system software alone.

Hence, 'Allocating a specific block of the CPU's processing time to a newly launched program' is the correct answer.
