Correct Answer

Explanation

Correct Answer Explanation:

A Time-Sharing OS divides CPU time into small slices and allocates them to different users in turn. This creates the illusion that all users are being served simultaneously, even though the CPU only handles one task at a time.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • Option A: Batch OS processes jobs one at a time without user interaction and does not use time slices.
  • Option C: Single-User OS supports only one user, so there's no need to divide time among multiple users.
  • Option D: Real-Time OS focuses on immediate response to specific events, not on time-sharing among users.
