Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
OS/2 was developed after MS-DOS as a more advanced operating system with a more layered design and multitasking support. It was not a single-tasking OS, did not simply allow direct hardware access, and MS-DOS was not descended from OS/2. Therefore, the correct statement is that OS/2 was implemented to be more layered than MS-DOS.
