Q6 
Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning fragmentation? 
 
a) In the variable partitioning method, fragmentation does not occur even if memory 
areas of various sizes are acquired and released. 
b) In the fixed partitioning method, the acquisition and release of memory areas are 
performed faster than in the variable partitioning method, but fragmentation tends to 
occur.  
c) Although the total available memory is sufficient, the required memory area cannot be 
acquired in some cases, because of fragmentation. 
d) In a system with a high frequency of acquisition and release of memory, garbage 
collection must be performed whenever a memory area is released.
