Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Statement I:An operating system controls peripherals, allocates memory and organizes data into fields and records.

Statement II:An operating system controls the processor and peripherals, and allows the user to connect to the Internet.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Explanation

Statement 1 is false because organising data into fields and records is done by database software, not the operating system.

Statement 2 is false because, although the operating system controls the processor and peripherals, connecting the user to the internet relies on application software like a browser.

An operating system manages hardware, memory, processes and files as its core role.

Fields and records are structures belonging to databases and files created by applications.

Networking support exists in the operating system, but actual internet use needs additional programs.

Both statements overstate what the operating system alone does.
