In a batch operating system, how are jobs typically handled?
Correct answer A. Similar jobs are grouped and run one after another without user interaction
Explanation
Batch systems collect jobs with similar needs and run them in sequence; the user submits work and collects output later without interacting while it runs. Giving each user a short slice in turn describes time-sharing, built for interactive response. Strict deadlines define real-time systems, and spreading work across networked machines describes a distributed system.
