Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Operating systems can be classified by the user environment they support and by the platform they target. Utility programs form a separate category because they maintain, diagnose, or manage a system rather than provide the operating environment.
A multi-user operating system supports concurrent use by multiple users; a single-user operating system is designed around one user; and a mobile operating system targets handheld devices.
Application
Item | Identifying property | Match |
|---|---|---|
UNIX | Supports multiple users and concurrent processes | IV. Multi-user operating system |
MS-DOS | Designed for one user on a personal computer | III. Single-user operating system |
Android OS | Targets smartphones and tablets | II. Mobile device |
Utility programs | Provide maintenance, diagnostic, and management tools | I. Assist users in system maintenance tasks |
Cross-check
The four descriptions are each used once and cover three classification axes: user model (twice), target platform, and maintenance function.
Result
Therefore, the matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
