Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation that the system processes transactions completely when and where they occur indicates that it is an online processing system, as opposed to a batch processing system which processes transactions in batches at a predetermined schedule without user involvement. The other observations (A, B, and C) do not necessarily indicate the type of processing system being used.
