Check Point Certified Automation Specialist (CCAS) — Question 68

When dealing with monolithic operating systems such as Gaia, where are system calls initiated from to achieve a required system level function?

Answer options

• A. Kernel Mode
• B. User Mode
• C. Slow Path
• D. Medium Path

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as system calls in monolithic operating systems are executed in Kernel Mode, which allows direct interaction with hardware and system resources. User Mode (B) is where applications run with limited access to system resources for security, while Slow Path (C) and Medium Path (D) are not standard terms related to system call initiation.
