    Which coherence protocol uses a write-invalidate approach across cores?

    ক)
    MSI/MESI variants
    খ)
    Write-through with no snoop
    গ)
    Directoryless broadcast only
    ঘ)
    ECC scrubbing

    Explanation

    MESI adds the Exclusive state to MSI, improving performance for private lines. On a write, caches invalidate other sharers to maintain single writer. Snooping or directories track sharers and transitions. It’s a cornerstone of multicore memory consistency.
