Relocatable programsSelect one:a. can be used with fixed partitionsb. can not be loaded anywhere in memoryc. none of the aboved. need a linker

The correct answer is a. Relocatable programs can be used with fixed partitions.

Here's why:

Relocatable programs are those programs that can be loaded anywhere in memory and executed without any errors. This is possible because they use relative addressing instead of absolute addressing.

In the context of memory management, fixed partitions are predefined blocks of memory that are allocated to programs for execution.

Relocatable programs can be used with fixed partitions because they are not dependent on a specific memory location. They can be loaded into any available partition, regardless of its position in memory.

So, the statement "Relocatable programs can be used with fixed partitions" is true.

The other options are incorrect because relocatable programs can indeed be loaded anywhere in memory (contradicting option b), and they do not necessarily need a linker (option d). A linker is used to link together multiple object files into a single executable, but this is not a requirement for a program to be relocatable.
