Why does an operating system perform context switching during multitasking?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To save one process state and give processor time to another process

The governing concept is context switching in process management. When the scheduler pauses one process, the operating system saves its current context, including relevant processor registers and execution information, and loads the saved context of another process. This lets several programs share processor time and appear to run together. Option A states this purpose; the remaining choices are unrelated to scheduling or process execution.
