   B.) external fragmentation occurs
   C.) both internal and external fragmentation occurs
   D.) neither internal nor external fragmentation occurs

Answer: Option 'A'

​internal fragmentation occurs

2.

External fragmentation will not occur when :

   A.) first fit is used
   B.) best fit is used
   C.) worst fit is used
   D.) no matter which algorithm is used, it will always occur

Answer: Option 'D'

no matter which algorithm is used, it will always occur

3.

Sometimes the overhead of keeping track of a hole might be :

   A.) larger than the memory
   B.) larger than the hole itself
   C.) very small
   D.) all of the mentioned

Answer: Option 'B'

​larger than the hole itself

4.

External fragmentation exists when :

   A.) enough total memory exists to satisfy a request but it is not contiguous
   B.) the total memory is insufficient to satisfy a request
   C.) a request cannot be satisfied even when the total memory is free
