B Correct answer
Explanation

When a TCP (Terminal Control Process) is in PENDING state, it means it received a STOP command and is in transition. It's not fully stopped yet, hence 'PENDING'. The TCP cannot start new work, process terminals, or run normally until the state changes. PENDING indicates a transitional stopped state.
