The answer to the following question is the option "d".

Explanation:

In computer science, a machine instruction includes many bytes in memory that defines to processor to perform a machine operation. In machine instruction, the processor scans the main memory. It scans after another process and performs machine operation for each machine instruction. when a process constantly checks that if a condition is true. So this technique is known as busy waiting.
