Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

An operating system (OS) is the core software that manages computer hardware and allows users to interact with the system. Microsoft Windows is a widely used commercial operating system developed by Microsoft. Linux is an open-source operating system known for its flexibility and security. Ubuntu is a popular distribution belonging to the Linux family, developed by Canonical Ltd. In contrast, MS-Excel is not an operating system but a spreadsheet application software. It was originally developed to compete with programs like Lotus 1-2-3 and is used for data recording and analysis within an operating system environment like Windows or macOS. While Windows and Ubuntu provide the platform for a computer to function, MS-Excel is a specific tool designed for productivity tasks.
