Answer»

The correct option is (c) can be FIXED or variable sized

Explanation: Messages sent by a process can be fixed or variable size. If the message size of the process is fixed then system LEVEL implementation is straightforward but it makes the TASK of PROGRAMMING more DIFFICULT. If the message size of the process is variable then system level implementation is more complex but it makes the task of programming simpler.
