When a process is neither in 'running' nor in 'blocked' state, which state might it be in?
- Waiting
- Zombie
- Sleeping
- Stopped
When a process is neither in the 'running' nor 'blocked' state, it is typically in a 'Sleeping' state. In this state, the process is waiting for an event or a specific condition to occur before it can continue execution. The process is temporarily inactive, often due to I/O operations or waiting for a signal.
