CompTIA IT Fundamentals (FC0-U51) — Question 8

A user wants to purchase a CAD application that requires 8GB of RAM to operate. Which of the following operating system types is required?

Answer options

• A. 8-bit
• B. 16-bit
• C. 32-bit
• D. 64-bit

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a 64-bit operating system can manage more than 4GB of RAM, which is essential for the CAD application requiring 8GB. The other options, including 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit systems, are limited in their RAM capacity and would not support the application effectively.
