Explanation of Solution

Command-driven operating system:

  • Command-driven interface refers to program and operating system that take commands in the form of special words or letters.
  • Some operating system are command-driven where the user runs a program by typing a command.
    • The screen is usually blank except a symbol such as “$”.
    • When the command is typed on the command prompt and enter key is pressed, the command is processed and the output is shown on the screen.
    • Generally, the operating system commands are short words or abbreviations such as date, logout, passwd, and ls.
  • Example of a command driven operating system are Unix OS and MS-DOS

Explanation for incorrect options:

XP:

The operating system XP is an example of a graphical user interface (GUI).

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Mavericks:

Mavericks’ operating system is Apple’s latest operating system which is based on the Mac OS. Mac OS provides GUI. So, “Mavericks” OS is also example of a GUI.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Windows 7:

The operating system Windows 7 is an example of a GUI.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
