    Which type of fragmentation is primarily addressed by

    paging, and which type does paging typically introduce?
    A Addresses internal fragmentation; introduces external fragmentation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Addresses external fragmentation; introduces internal fragmentation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Addresses both internal and external fragmentation; introduces no new fragmentation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Addresses external fragmentation; introduces no new fragmentation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Addresses internal fragmentation; introduces no new fragmentation. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Paging divides physical memory into fixed-size frames and logical memory into fixed-size pages. This eliminates external fragmentation because any free frame can be used. However, if a process's last page is not completely filled, it leads to internal fragmentation within that page.
