Some systems do not allow a child to exist if its parent has terminated. In such systems, if a process terminates (either normally or abnormally), then all its children must also be terminated. What do you call this concept

Answer: The question is incomplete and the options are not given here are the options gotten from another website.

a. The child has exceeded its usage of some of the resources that it has been allocated,

b. cascading termination

c. process orphaning

d. Zombies

The correct option is Cascading termination.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is cascading termination because it refer to a process whereby when a process is terminated, other processes associated to that process is terminated. This normally occur in the case of parent child process. In this case if the parent process is terminated either normally or abnormally, all the child process is terminated or when parent process is been terminated, all the children processes are terminated.
