CPUs or cores typically works together to complete one job more quickly.
A
Multiprocessing
B
Parallel Processing
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parallel processing is a method in computing of running two or more processors (CPUs) to handle separate parts of an overall task. Breaking up different parts of a task among multiple processors will help reduce the amount of time to run a program.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parallel processing uses two or more processors or CPUs simultaneously to handle various components of a single activity. Systems can slash a program’s execution time by dividing a task’s many parts among several processors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parallel Computing uses more than one core. A core (also called processor) is capable of executing one thread of computation. Modern computers contain more than one core; a typical laptop usually contains either 2 or 4.

Detailed explanation-4: -Multithreading is the ability of the CPU to divide up the work among multiple threads instead of giving it to a single core, to enable concurrent processing. The multiple threads are processed by the different CPU cores in parallel, to speed up performance and save time.
