Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

When starting a program with the nice command without any additional parameters, the nice level for the resulting process is set to 0. This means that the process runs with the standard or default priority. The nice level affects the scheduling priority of the process; a higher nice value means lower priority, while a lower nice value (-20 being the lowest) means higher priority.
