This set of MCQs helps students to learn about a microprocessor with memory management which is the process of controlling and coordinating computer memory, assigning portions called blocks to various running programs to optimize overall system performance. and protection defined as a way to control memory access rights on a computer, and is a part of most modern instruction set architectures and operating systems. The main purpose of memory protection is to prevent a process from accessing memory that has not been allocated to it.
