10.    A scheduling algorithm assigns priority proportional to the waiting time of a process. Every process starts with priority zero(the lowest priority). The scheduler re-evaluates the process priorities every T time units and decides the next process to schedule.

(A) This algorithm is equivalent to the first-come-first-serve algorithm.
(B) This algorithm is equivalent to the round-robin algorithm.
(C) This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-job-first algorithm.
(D) This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-remaining-time-first algorithm.
Answer: B
