For the operating system, is a process regardless of its state a running program?
The test question was either true or false . I chose fake , but the answer was wrong. Can anyone explain why?

In multitasking systems, only when a process has its instructions interpreted and executed by the processor is that its state is called 'under execution'.
There are several possible states - 'hold', 'locked' and 'created', among others. None of these are considered 'under execution'.
From this point of view, it seems to me that your teacher is correct.
