Answer

Apple OS X can be used on a wide variety of hardware and Linux-Based operating systems don’t work on most hardware.

Apple OS X can only be used on Apple hardware and Linux-Based operating systems can be used on a variety of hardware.

Apple OS X has fewer applications available than Linux-Based operating systems do.

Apple OS X is free or inexpensive and Linux-Based operating systems are very expensive.

Apple’s OS X (now called macOS) is designed to run on Apple computers, while Linux-based operating systems can be installed on many kinds of hardware. That makes choice B the best description. The other choices reverse this hardware difference or make inaccurate claims about software availability and cost.
