I’m not so sure. What about B) usecpus=1? Sounds plausible too.

I feel like smpcpus=1 was mentioned in a different context, but maxcpus=1 seems more likely for this question.

I’m a bit confused; I thought it might be usecpus=1, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think it was definitely maxcpus=1. That one stood out to me.

I think the parameter is something like maxcpus=1, but I'm not entirely sure. It sounds familiar from our lectures.
