Lets say I use fork() twice to create child processes

1. does Linux Kernel always send signals to parent process?

2. lets say I use fork() twice to create child processes

   int main() {

   fork();

   fork();
   
   printf("hello\n");
   
   exit(0);
   

   }

after the first fork(), a child process(lets say it is called child_1, and the parent process is called parent_1) is created.

On the second fork(), child_1 create another child process (lets say it is called child_2).

so my understanding is, child_1 is actually a parent process in the context of child_2, so now lets say the shell runs the program and a user type ctrl-c at the keyboard, so the kernel sends the SIGINT, but to which process, parent_1 or child_1 or both, since child_1 is also parent process of child_2?

Thanks, Sailaja
