(d) easy to use

I had been asked this question in unit test.

I want to ask this question from Introduction to UNIX topic in chapter The Unix Architecture & General Purpose Utilities of Unix

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) easy to use

Best explanation: UNIX is a multitasking operating system i.e. a user can run multiple tasks concurrently. Similarly, it is a multiuser system because it permits working with multiple users on a single operating system. But a major disadvantage of UNIX lies in the fact that the richness provided by its commands requires a special type of commitment to understand the subject. i.e. the user must be well aware of commands he is using and the functions performed by them.
