Explanation
Option B is correct because the statement is false - only hardware RAID (hard RAID) has its own dedicated processor built into the RAID controller card, which offloads RAID processing from the host CPU. Software RAID (soft RAID) has no independent processor; it relies entirely on the host system's CPU to manage all RAID operations. Option A is wrong because it incorrectly attributes an independent processor to both methods when this is a feature exclusive to hardware RAID. The key distinction is the presence or absence of a dedicated controller chip.
Memory tip: Associate "software" with sharing - soft RAID shares the host CPU, while hard RAID has its own hardware processor to handle the work independently.
