Answer 2

(B) Old isn't the state of a process in process scheduling.

Explanation:

• A process is alleged to be in the new state once a program present within the secondary memory is initiated for execution.
• A wait state may be a scenario during which a program or processor is waiting for the completion of some event before resuming an activity.
• The process is alleged to be running once the process instructions are executed by the processor.
• There is no state of the process like the old state.

Hence, the old state isn't the state of a process.
