What is an ‘Operating system’?

  • (A) Application software
  • (B) System software
  • (C) Integrated software
  • (D) Output software
  • A computer is an operating system (OS) a basic piece of software that controls the hardware of a computer, and serves as a general host to applications. Also, in contrast to application software (which accomplishes a definite task to the user, such as Word Processing or browsing), system software is the one that runs in the background to make sure the computer works properly.
  • Hardware Management: It manages the CPU, the memory, and the storage. Resource Allocation: It determines what programs can use what resources and which duration.
  • User Interface: It will give you the interface (such as a desktop or command line) with which you will interrelate with the machine.
  • Platform for Apps: It includes the context on which to execute an "Application Software" (such as Spotify or Excel) can be executed.
  • The Operating System may be thought of as the manager of the computer. None of your hardware would work without it because your hardware would be merely a pile of components which have no idea how to communicate with themselves or with you.
