Question 10 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

What statement best describes operating systems?

Answer
A
It’s possible for modern computers to function without operating systems.
B
Most operating systems are free or very inexpensive.
C
Operating systems are managed by the computer’s microprocessor (CPU).
D
Operating systems manage the computer’s random access memory (RAM).

Explanation

An operating system manages important computer resources, including RAM. It allocates memory to programs and helps keep programs from interfering with one another. The CPU executes instructions, but it does not manage the operating system itself. So the best description is that operating systems manage the computer’s random access memory (RAM).
