fork() creates a new process by duplicating the calling process, The new process, referred to as child, is an exact duplicate of the calling process, referred to as parent, except for the following :
The child has its own unique process ID, and this PID does not match the ID of any existing process group.
The child’s parent process ID is the same as the parent process ID.
The child does not inherit its parent’s memory locks and semaphore
adjustments.
The child does not inherit outstanding asynchronous I/O operations from its parent nor does it inherit any asynchronous I/O contexts from its parent.

Explanation: An operating system has three main functions:
(1) manage the computer’s resources, such as the central processing unit, memory, and other input – output sources
(2) establish a user interface, and
(3) execute and provide services for applications software.
OS provides an interface between the user and the hardware and thus making the computer easy to use for the user but the primary function of OS is to manage the hardware in the most efficient way.

From the below process state diagram, we can easily that the option (B) is correct.

Spooling is a specialized form of multi-programming for the purpose of copying data between different devices.
A dedicated program, the spooler, maintains an orderly sequence of jobs for the peripheral and feeds it data at its own rate
Conversely, for slow input peripherals, such as a card reader, a spooler can maintain a sequence of computational jobs waiting for data, starting each job when all of the relevant input is available
