Explanation

Correct Answer Explanation:

An Operating System is system software that manages a computer's hardware and software resources, providing a bridge between the user and the machine. Examples: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android.

Why the other options are incorrect:

  • Option B: A programming tool (like an IDE or compiler) helps write programs — an OS is broader and runs those programs.
  • Option C: A hardware brand is a manufacturer (like Dell or HP), not software.
  • Option D: A file format defines how data is stored (like .pdf, .jpg), unrelated to what an OS is.
