What type of operating system is referred to as “The Big Mess”?
  1. Data Hiding Operating System
  2. Layered Operating System
  3. Monolithic Operating System
  4. Domain Operating System
Explanation
Answer: C - The monolithic operating system is referred to as “The Big Mess.” This is due to its lack of structure. The operating system is mainly made up of various procedures that can call upon each other in a haphazard manner. In these types of systems, modules of code can call upon each other as needed. The communication between the different modules is not as structured and controlled as in layered architecture and data hiding is not provided. MS-DOS is an example of a monolithic operating system.
