Correct Answer

Explanation

Correct Answer Explanation:

Multi-user systems use time-sharing, giving each user a tiny slice of CPU time in rapid rotation. This gives every user the impression of having their own dedicated computer.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • Option B: Batch processing groups jobs and runs them without user interaction, which doesn't work for multiple interactive users.
  • Option C: Cold booting means turning the computer on from off — it's a startup process, not a technique for serving users.
  • Option D: Single-tasking allows only one task at a time — the opposite of what multi-user systems need.
