Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 25

Which definition of the virtual address space for a Windows process is true?

Answer options

• A. actual physical location of an object in memory
• B. set of virtual memory addresses that it can use
• C. set of pages that are currently resident in physical memory
• D. system-level memory protection feature that is built into the operating system

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the virtual address space refers to the range of memory addresses that a Windows process can utilize. Option A describes physical memory location, which does not pertain to virtual addresses. Option C refers to pages in physical memory, and option D relates to memory protection, neither of which defines the virtual address space.
