Answer 2

option (3) is correct

Explanation:

• A pipe acts as a conduit, allowing two processes to communicate. Pipes were one of the first IPC mechanisms in early UNIX systems. They typically provide one of the simpler ways for processes to communicate with one another.

• Ordinary pipes allow communication between parent and child processes.

• while named pipes permit unrelated processes to communicate.

• In named pipes, communication can be bidirectional.

hence, option (3) is correct
