Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
which operating system is described here?-systems that require this type of OS include nuclear powwer stations and aircraft systems. If a decision or action is delayed because of software running slowly in a nuclear reactor, it might explode, which would be a disaster.
A
multi-user
B
multi-programming
C
real-time
D
single-user
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Control applications such as aircraft, robotics and nuclear power plant have to maintain a very high level of safety, typically defined as the avoidance of unplanned events resulting in hazard. These applications usually operate with hard real-time operating system (RTOS).

Detailed explanation-2: -In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart, which releases energy. All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best describes the process of electricity generation at a nuclear power plant? Nuclear power is generated through fission, which releases a large amount of heat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
