Solution

The correct option is B False
False : The data transfer between memory and I/O devices using interrupt driven I/O is faster than programmed I/O because programmed I/O technique require constant monitoring on peripheral by CPU, once data transfer is initiated, CPU have to wait for next transfer whereas in interrupt driven I/O once data transfer initiated, CPU executes next program without wasting time and the interface keep monitoring the device.
