B
batch
C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Batch Processing is Ideal for processing large volumes of data/transaction. It also increases efficiency rather than processing each individually.

Detailed explanation-2: -A good example of batch processing is how credit card companies do their billing. When customers get their credit card bills, it isn’t a separate bill for each transaction; rather, there is one bill for the entire month. That bill is created using batch processing.

Detailed explanation-3: -In computing, a batch operating system (BOS) is a type of operating system that allows multiple users to use it at the same time. It does not allow any direct communication between users, meaning that each user must complete their tasks before passing control on to the next user.

Detailed explanation-4: -Common examples of real-time systems include air traffic control systems, process control systems, and autonomous driving systems.

Detailed explanation-5: -Normally, several batch jobs can be processed concurrently. In most cases, you are not required to attend the system during processing of the job. In online processing (also called interactive processing), the system processes data as it is being entered.
