Statement II: TRUE

A ready process moves to running process when it is dispatched.

Statement III: FALSE

A blocked process that is in waiting state can never move directly to running state. It must go to ready queue first.

Statement IV: TRUE.

A blocked or waiting process can move to ready state.

Important Point:

The transition from running to ready state is possible only in pre-emptive scheduling. It cannot happen in non pre-emptive scheduling.
