CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 646

Which of the following operating systems can allow users to have access to the source code, can host various server applications, and can be command line only?

Answer options

• A. Windows
• B. macOS
• C. Linux
• D. Chrome OS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Linux because it is an open-source operating system that allows users to access and modify the source code, making it ideal for hosting server applications. In contrast, Windows and macOS are proprietary systems with restricted source code access, and while Chrome OS is based on Linux, it is primarily designed for web applications and does not operate strictly in a command line environment.
