Which of the following can periodically trigger the context switch?

Which of the following can periodically trigger the context switch? Correct Answer hardware interrupt

The multitasking operating systems are associated with the multitasking kernel which controls the time slicing mechanism. The time period required for each task for execution before it is stopped and replaced during a context switch is known as the time slice. These are periodically triggered by a hardware interrupt from the system timer.

Consider four processes P, Q, R, and S scheduled on a CPU as per round-robin algorithm with a time quantum of 4 units. The processes arrive in the order P, Q, R, S, all at time t = 0. There is exactly one context switch from S to Q, exactly one context switch from R to Q, and exactly two context switches from Q to R. There is no context switch from S to P. Switching to a ready process after the termination of another process is also considered a context switch. Which one of the following is NOT possible as CPU burst time (in time units) of these processes?
