Correct Answer
The process has all the resources it needs and is waiting only for the CPU to be assigned to it
Explanation
A ready process is loaded in memory and able to run immediately once the scheduler picks it; it just isn't currently holding the CPU. This differs from "running" (has the CPU) and "blocked/waiting" (needs an event like I/O completion).
