Operating System  (OS) is the answer.
An application runs in/on an OS.  It is not the OS itself. Like Word or Chrome are applications. 
Systems is too generic and not specific enough to mean anything in this context.  Throw away answer.
Network Operating System does not 'usually' run on a hard drive but on memory chips in things like routers, wireless access points and switches that move network traffic.
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The receiver will not detect the error. 
Explanation:
The byte sent by transmitter: 10101010 
The byte received by receiver due to channel noise: 10011010
If you see the bold part of the both sent and received bytes you can see that the number of bits changed is 2. 
The two communicating devices are using a single-bit even parity check. Here there are two changed bits so this error will not be detected as this single bit even parity check scheme has a limit and it detects the error when the value of changed bit is odd but here it is even.
This parity scheme basically works well with the odd number of bit errors.

Answer: B) Vertical Partitioning
Explanation: 
As, vertical partitioning is performed on Relation X, it is used for dividing the relation X vertically in columns and it involves creation of tables and columns. They also use some additional tables to store left out columns. We cannot partition the column without perform any modification of value of the column. It only relies on keeping the particular attributes of relation X.
