Which scheduling algorithm can lead to starvation?

  • A Shortest Job First without priority handling correctly is arguable, but choose SJF
  • B Round Robin
  • C Priority Scheduling
  • D First Come First Serve
Correct Answer: Option C — Priority Scheduling
Explanation:
Priority Scheduling can lead to starvation, where low-priority processes may never get executed if higher-priority processes continually arrive in the queue. This is unlike Round Robin, which ensures fairness by giving each process a fixed time slice.
