Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) Ready state

Easiest explanation - In a time-sharing operating system, when the time SLOT given to a process is completed, the process goes from the RUNNING state to the Ready State. In a time-sharing operating system unit time is defined for sharing CPU, it is called a time QUANTUM or time slice.
