In which situation is excessive paging by the operating system most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When active programs require far more memory than available main memory

The governing concept is paging, a virtual-memory technique in which the operating system moves fixed-size pages between main memory and secondary storage. If active programs demand much more RAM than is available, pages must be transferred repeatedly, leaving little time for useful execution; this condition is often called thrashing. Therefore C is correct. Printer paper, display brightness, and mouse speed do not create memory pressure.
