Answer:
(B) Apple os x can only be used on apple hardware and linux-based operating systems can be used on a variety of hardware.
Explanation:
Lets review each option:
(A) Apple os x can be used on a wide variety of hardware and linux-based operating systems don’t work on most hardware.
False. Exactly the opposite, Apple OS can only be used with Apple hardware, and Linux supports a wide variety of hardware, but sometime it depends on the linux flavour or the community development.
(B) Apple os x can only be used on apple hardware and linux-based operating systems can be used on a variety of hardware.
TRUE, just like the (A) answer.
(C) Apple os x has fewer applications available than linux-based operating systems do.
False. We can't state which OS has more applications available, both Apple and Linux have very active developments.
(D) Apple os x is free or inexpensive and linux-based operating systems are very expensive.
False. Apple OS is paid and closed-source. On the other hand, linux has both cases, paid and free versions. Most linux flavours are free and open source.
