E
Foreground Task
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -time slice in British English (taɪm slaɪs ) computing. the period of time for which a process is allowed to run uninterrupted in a pre-emptive multitasking operating system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Time-slice multithreading is the convectional multithreading where CPU creates an illusion of executing more than once program at a time but the CPU can execute only one of these programs at a time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: b Explanation: The multitasking operating systems are associated with the multitasking kernel which controls the time slicing mechanism. The time period required for each task for execution before it is stopped and replaced during a context switch is known as the time slice.
