Answer 1

C. is responsible for memory and device management.

E. is responsible for system security.

Step-by-step explanation:

An operating system platform is a system software pre-installed on a computing device to manage or control software application, computer hardware and user processes.

This ultimately implies that, an operating system (OS) is essentially an interface between the computer’s hardware and all the software applications (programs) running on it.

Some examples of an operating system are QNX, Linux, OpenVMS, MacOS, Microsoft windows, IBM, Solaris, VM, Ubuntu, etc.

The two statements which are true about an operating system (OS) are;

I. It's responsible for memory and device management. The operating system (OS) ensures proper allocation of memory to processes and manages all the input/output devices that are connected to the computer.

II. It's responsible for system security. The operating system (OS) makes sure the data integrity of a computer system isn't compromised i.e determining whether or not a request is to be processed through an authentication process.
