    Multitasking means _______________.

    • Can do two or more things at the same time

    • One at a time

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Can do two or more things at the same time
    Explanation
    Multitasking refers to the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously or switch between tasks rapidly. It involves dividing one's attention and focus among multiple activities, allowing for increased productivity and efficiency. This contrasts with the option of completing tasks one at a time, which implies a sequential approach. Therefore, the correct answer "Can do two or more things at the same time" accurately defines multitasking.
