Answer»

Correct choice is (b) SHELL

Explanation: When we log on to a UNIX system, we first see a PROMPT. This prompt remains there until we key in something. EVEN when we think the system is idling, a UNIX command is always RUNNING at the terminal. This command is known as the shell. The shell is with US all the time and doesn’t terminates unless we log out.
