A. B. C. D.A.
The term IOPS stands for Input/Output Operations Per Second. It is a measure of the rate at which data can be read from or written to a storage device, such as a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive.
IOPS are especially important in systems that have high disk activity, such as databases or file servers, as they can affect the overall performance of the system.
Therefore, the operating system function that the term IOPS would BEST apply to is disk management (Option A), as it involves managing the storage devices and their performance.
Process management (Option B) involves managing the execution of programs and their system resources. Application management (Option C) involves managing the installation, configuration, and maintenance of software applications. Service management (Option D) involves managing the system services that run in the background and provide various functions to the operating system and applications.
While all of these operating system functions may have an impact on IOPS in some way, disk management is the most closely related to the term.
