A Correct answer
Explanation

SMON (System Monitor) is the Oracle background process responsible for instance recovery. It performs recovery at startup by rolling forward changes from redo logs and rolling back uncommitted transactions. PMON monitors and recovers user processes, while IMON and INSTMON are not standard Oracle processes.
