What can the operating system do when active programs demand more memory than the available random access memory?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can use part of storage as virtual memory

When physical RAM is under pressure, an operating system can use a reserved portion of secondary storage as virtual memory. It moves less-active memory pages to that space and retrieves them when needed, allowing programs to continue running. Option C is correct, although storage is much slower than RAM, so heavy paging can cause noticeable performance loss. The other options do not solve memory pressure.
