Oracle Database 12c: Installation and Administration — Question 222

Which background process does Automatic Shared Memory Management use to coordinate the sizing of memory components?

Answer options

• A. PMON
• B. SMON
• C. MMNL
• D. MMAN
• E. MMON

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, MMAN, which is responsible for managing memory allocation in Automatic Shared Memory Management. The other options, while being background processes, do not specifically handle the sizing of memory components; PMON is for process monitoring, SMON is for instance recovery, and MMNL is for managing memory notifications.
