220-1102 Question #335: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which of the following operating systems can allow users to have access to the source code, can host various server applications, and can be command line only?

Options

• AWindows
• BmacOS
• CLinux
• DChrome OS

Explanation

Linux is an open-source operating system that provides access to its source code, is highly capable of hosting server applications, and can operate entirely as a command-line interface.

Common mistakes.

• A. Windows is a proprietary operating system, meaning its source code is not generally accessible to users, and while it can host server applications, its primary deployments typically involve a GUI, although Server Core offers a CLI option.
• B. macOS is a proprietary operating system from Apple, and its source code is not publicly available, nor is it primarily designed or used as a command-line-only server OS.
• D. Chrome OS is based on Linux but is proprietary in its full commercial form, and its primary design is for web-centric consumer devices, not as a command-line-only server operating system with open source code access.
