Explanation:
An operating system (OS) is a program that manages all other application programs in a computer after it is first loaded into the computer by the boot program. Application programs consume the operating system by making service requests through defined application program interfaces (APIs). In addition, users can interact directly with the operating system through user interfaces such as command line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI).
The operating system offers great benefits for computer software and software development. Without an operating system, each application would have to have its own user interface and the extensive code necessary to handle all the low-level functionality of the underlying computer (disk storage, network interfaces, etc.). Given the wide availability of underlying hardware, the size of the application increases significantly, making software development impractical.
