A. B. C. D.

Memory interleaving is a technique used to enhance the performance of a computer system's memory subsystem by simultaneously accessing multiple memory modules or DIMMs. The interleaving technique is used to provide more effective memory bandwidth and reduce the latency of memory access.

In memory interleaving, data is distributed across multiple memory modules in a specific pattern. When the computer system needs to access memory, it uses the pattern to access multiple memory modules simultaneously, instead of accessing one memory module at a time. This technique helps to speed up memory access and increase the overall system performance.

Option A is incorrect because L1 cache is not a memory DIMM and is not involved in memory interleaving.

Option B is incorrect because memory interleaving involves the distribution of data across all the memory DIMMs in all the banks, not just one bank.

Option C is incorrect because the processor is not involved in memory interleaving. The data is distributed across all the memory DIMMs only.

Option D is also incorrect because L2 cache is not involved in memory interleaving. Memory interleaving involves the distribution of data across all the memory DIMMs only.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D. Memory interleaving involves the distribution of data written across all the memory DIMMs, but not the L2 cache.
