Which of the following signals is sent to a process when the key combination CTRL+C is pressed on the keyboard?

Answer options

• A. SIGTERM
• B. SIGINT
• C. SIGSTOP
• D. SIGKILL

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, SIGINT, which is the interrupt signal sent to a process when CTRL+C is pressed. SIGTERM (A) is used to request termination of a process, SIGSTOP (C) stops a process, and SIGKILL (D) forcefully kills a process without cleanup, but none are triggered by the CTRL+C action.
