Priority scheduling assigns priorities to processes, with higher priority processes getting executed first. However, this can lead to starvation if lower-priority processes are continually bypassed in favor of higher-priority processes. Starvation occurs when a low-priority process may never get executed, particularly if there is a steady stream of higher-priority processes. This issue can be mitigated using a technique called aging , where the priority of processes that have waited too long is gradually increased, ensuring that all processes eventually get CPU time. Why Other Options are Incorrect: A) FCFS: FCFS is a non-preemptive algorithm and does not cause starvation; processes are executed in the order of their arrival. B) SJF: SJF is non-preemptive and doesn’t cause starvation directly, though its preemptive counterpart (SRTF) might. C) SRTF: SRTF can cause starvation, but it is not as likely as Priority Scheduling since processes with shorter burst times will eventually complete. D) Round Robin: Round Robin uses time slices, so all processes get a fair share of the CPU, preventing starvation.
