b. multitasking
c. sequential tasking
d. cleaving tasks

b. Multitasking

Explanation:

Multitasking is a person's ability to perform multiple tasks at the same time.

Imagine that mother who can wash dishes, watch her son playing in the living room and still talk to someone on the phone at the same time. She is a true multitasker.

We all do some things at the same time, because we often don't have time to do everything we need and would like. Some experts agree that women are better multitaskers than men.

Multitasking is a widely used term today and many companies required it and others still require their employees to be multitaskers.

However, some studies show that multitaskers are not as efficient as they were thought to be. Researchers also believe that performing multiple tasks together saves no time. They believe it is best to start and finish one task and then move on to another.
