Best answer
Right choice is (a) parallel Best explanation: When you have multiple processors/- cores/machines working in parallel, the amount of time that the collection of CPUs spends working on a problem is the same as with a single CPU, but because they are operating in parallel, there is a savings in elapsed time.
