B Correct answer
Explanation

Megaflops (MFLOPS) stands for Million Floating Point Operations Per Second, measuring a computer's floating-point computation performance. This is different from MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) which counts all instructions. Option A incorrectly describes interrupts, and C describes system crashes.
