Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is none of these

An operating system that allows a single user to perform only one task at a time is called a Single-User Single-Tasking Operating System. Functions like printing a document, downloading images, etc., can be performed only one at a time. Examples include MS-DOS, Palm OS, etc.

Advantage: This operating system occupies less space in memory.

Disadvantage: It can perform only a single task at a time.

There are four types of operating systems −

Real-time operating system

Single-User/Single-Tasking operating system

Single-User/Multitasking operating system

Multi-User/Multitasking operating system

Real-time operating system is designed to run real-time applications. It can be both single- and multi-tasking. Examples include Abbasi, AMX RTOS, etc.

An operating system that allows a single user to perform more than one task at a time is called Single-User Multitasking Operating System. Examples include Microsoft Windows and Macintosh OS.

It is an operating system that permits several users to utilize the programs that are concurrently running on a single network server. The single network server is termed as "Terminal server". "Terminal client" is a software that supports user sessions. Examples include UNIX, MVS, etc.

Computing

isInfun

However, it is noted that the C option is not written correctly, but it is guessed that it will match to option C.

This Java code statement first prints "Computing" and then on the next line it will print "isInfun" because after the word "Computing" there is a line terminator i.e. \n. when \n will appear, the compiler prints the remaining text in the statement on the next line.
