The option that is not a state in the lifecycle of a service is d. paused state
What is the lifecycle of a service like ?
When a service is created, it first enters the starting state. In this state, the service is being initialized and prepared to run. The system performs a number of tasks, such as creating the service's thread, loading its resources, and setting up its background services.
Once the service has been initialized, it enters the running state. In this state, the service is running and performing its functions. When the system decides that the service is no longer needed, it enters the destroyed state. In this state, the service is terminated and all of its resources are released.
The paused state is not a part of the standard lifecycle of a service. It is a custom state that some services may implement. In the paused state, the service is temporarily stopped but not completely destroyed.
