Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An operating system or other program that has reached end-of-life in its life cycle will ____
A
no longer work
B
still work but will not get new updates except for security updates
C
still work but will not get any updates or support at all
D
automatically upgrade to the next newest version
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By definition, EOL operating systems will not get security fixes and updates that protect users against known vulnerabilities. Instead, these security risks will be known to the public, including hackers, but there will be no patch that can protect users against the risk where hackers decide to exploit it.

Detailed explanation-2: -As mentioned, end of life technology receives no security updates, bug fixes, or patches; it is dead in the eyes of the manufacturer. That means your security is completely compromised, not only for the system or software that is EOL, but also potentially for any others that connect to it.

Detailed explanation-3: -End-of-Life (EOL)/End-of-Support(EOS) describe the final stage of a product’s lifecycle. Once a product reaches EOL/EOS, developers stop updating and patching the product and it is no longer maintained. Software development companies do this often as they release newer versions of their products.

Detailed explanation-4: -DOS does not support more than one program at a time.
