Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Real-time operating systems (RTOS) are used to control machinery, scientific instruments, and industrial systems. In general, the user does not have much control over the functions performed by the RTOS. Single-user, single task operating systems allow one user to do one thing at a time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Real-time operating system (RTOS)-Real-time operating systems are used to control machinery, scientific instruments and industrial systems.

Detailed explanation-3: -System software is used to manage the computer itself. It runs in the background, maintaining the computer’s basic functions so users can run higher-level application software to perform certain tasks. Essentially, system software provides a platform for application software to be run on top of.

Detailed explanation-4: -Real Time Operating System(RTOS)-used to control machinery, scientific instruments and industrial systems. An RTOS has very little user-interface capability, and no end-user utilities included.

Detailed explanation-5: -Unlike operating systems, such as Windows, that are designed for single users to control one computer, network operating systems (NOS) coordinate the activities of multiple computers across a network. The network operating system acts as a director to keep the network running smoothly.
