Correct Answer - Option 2 : (i) True, (ii) True

(i) Windows XP is an operating system → True → Windows XP is an operating system (OS) developed and exclusively distributed by Microsoft Corporation and targeted to owners of personal computers, laptops, and media centers. The "XP" stands for eXPerience.

Windows XP was released to manufacturers in August 2001 and publicly released in October 2001. Because of its installed user base, it is the second most popular Windows version.

(ii) Both Unix and Linux are multitasking operating systems → True Unix is a multi-user operating system that allows more than one person to use the computer resources at a time. It was originally designed as a time-sharing system to serve several users simultaneously. Unix can do many jobs at once, dividing the processor’s time between the tasks so quickly that it looks as if everything is running at the same time. This is called multitasking.

Linux is a multi-tasking OS; a part of the kernel called the scheduler keeps track of all the programs running and allots processor time accordingly, effectively running several programs simultaneously.

An operating system in which the user can manage one thing at a time effectively. Example: Linux, Unix, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, etc.

Hence, Option (2) is correct.
