Which statement best describes a distributed operating system?
Correct answer C. It manages a collection of networked computers so that users see them as a single system
Explanation
A distributed operating system controls separate, networked machines and hides their separation, so users can share files, devices and processing power as if using one computer. Switching one CPU among programs is multiprogramming or time-sharing. Fixed deadlines describe real-time systems, and grouped jobs without interaction describe batch processing.
