The essential difference between an operating system like Linux and one like Windows is that
Answer: D) Any program can modify Linux code which is not permitted with windows
The question is intended to test the difference between open-source and proprietary operating systems. Linux is open-source, meaning its source code can be inspected, modified, and redistributed under the applicable license. Windows is proprietary, and users generally cannot modify or redistribute its source code.
However, option D is not perfectly worded: not just any program can modify Linux code; users or developers with appropriate access can modify the source code.
Exam Tip: Linux = Open-source; Windows = Proprietary.
यो प्रश्नले Open-source र Proprietary Operating System बीचको भिन्नता सोधेको हो। Linux को Source Code हेर्न, परिवर्तन गर्न र सम्बन्धित लाइसेन्सका सर्तअनुसार पुनः वितरण गर्न सकिन्छ। Windows भने Proprietary Operating System हो, जसको Source Code मा सामान्य प्रयोगकर्ताले स्वतन्त्र रूपमा परिवर्तन गर्न पाउँदैनन्।
अन्य विकल्पहरू किन गलत छन्?
A: Linux र Windows दुवै Intel प्रोसेसरमा चल्न सक्छन्।
B: उल्टो भनिएको छ—Linux सामान्यतः Open-source हो र Windows Proprietary हो।
C: दुवैका धेरै संस्करणहरू छन्।
D: अपेक्षित उत्तर यही हो, तर यसको शब्दावली प्राविधिक रूपमा पूर्ण सही छैन।
