17A page fault:
- Aoccurs when a program accesses a page of memory
- Bis a reference to a page belonging to another program
- Cis an access to a page not currently in memory
- Dis an error is a specific page
18A state of a process is defined by:
- Athe activity is just executed by the process
- Bthe final activity of the process
