Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operating systems are designed to allocate system resources, manage storage space, maintain security, detect equipment failure, and control basic input and output. Utilities may assist with some of these tasks, but they typically refer to specific applications or programs that perform specific functions, while operating systems provide the foundation for a computer's overall functionality. Programming languages and database management software are not designed to perform these tasks.
