The technique of swapping items between memory and storage is called.
A
caching
B
buffering
C
thrashing
D
paging
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Paging is a function of memory management where a computer will store and retrieve data from a device’s secondary storage to the primary storage. Memory management is a crucial aspect of any computing device, and paging specifically is important to the implementation of virtual memory.

Detailed explanation-2: -In computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paging is a memory management technique in which the computer stores and retrieves data for usage in the main memory from secondary storage. Swapping is a technique for temporarily removing inactive applications from the computer system’s main memory. More processes can be stored in the main memory using this strategy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paging is a memory management technique for retrieving processes from secondary memory storage units as pages and stored in the main memory’s frame. When a program needs to access data, it sends a request to access a process to the operating system, which stores the process in the main memory from the secondary memory.

Detailed explanation-5: -Paging is a method of gaining access to data more quickly. When a program requires a page, it is available in the main memory because the OS copies a set number of pages from the storage device into the main memory. Paging permits a process’s physical address space to be noncontiguous.
