Elapsed time, between initiating a query and receiving a response is called

A. response time

B. waiting time

C. processing time

D. Turnaround time

E. None of the above

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct option is "response time".

Elapsed time between initiating a query and receiving the response is defined as response time.

It measures how quickly the system reacts to a user’s request and provides the output.

Why not the others?

"Waiting time" refers to the time a process spends in the ready queue before execution, not the query-response gap.

"Processing time" is only the time taken by the CPU to process instructions, not including the full elapsed query-response duration.

"Turnaround time" is the total time taken from submission of a process to its completion, which is broader than just query-response.

"None of the above" is incorrect because "response time" exactly matches the definition.

Therefore, the most accurate answer is "response time".
