Which kind of fragmentation does paging suffer from?
Correct answer C. Internal fragmentation in the last page of a process
Explanation
Paging gives any free frame to any page, so free memory never splits into unusable gaps between allocations; there is no external fragmentation. However, a process rarely fills its final page exactly, and the unused part of that frame is wasted inside the allocation, which is internal fragmentation. Average waste is about half a page per process, which argues for smaller pages.
