Elapsed time, between initiating a query and receiving a response is called
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
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".
