D) fault-tolerant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multiprocessing operating system can support two or more processors running programs simultaneously, allowing for more efficient use of system resources and faster processing speeds. Virtual operating systems create a virtual environment that emulates a complete hardware environment and can support multiple operating systems. Indexed is a term used to describe data structures used in database management systems. Fault-tolerant operating systems provide reliable backup systems to ensure that critical operations are not affected by hardware or software failures. Therefore, the only appropriate choice is C) multiprocessing.
