2. Multi-user operating system
3. Multi-boot operating system
4. Real time operating system

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Multi-user operating system

The correct answer is Multi-user operating system.

• A multi-user operating system facilitates multiple users to work on a single computer system.

• A multi-user operating system is an operating system that allows multiple users to connect and operate a single operating system.
• The users interact with it through terminals/computers which gives access to the system through a network or machines.

• Batch user operating system:
  • In this type of operating system, the user does not interact with the computer directly.
  • There is an operator which takes similar jobs having the same requirement and divides them into batches.
• Real-time operating system:
  • In these operating systems, the time interval required to process and respond to inputs is very small.
    • This time interval is called response time. 
• Multi-boot operating system:
  • In a Multi-boot operating system, multiple OS is flashed into a single computer.
