Answer:

D. In DMA, interrupt is sent when the task is completed

Step-by-step explanation:

Note, the term Direct Memory Access simply refers to a computer feature that allows hardware subsystems to directly access the main system memory of a computer, without any the aid of the central processing unit (CPU).

It is a fact that while the transfer process is ongoing, an interrupt (interrupt signal) is not sent until when the task is completed.
