    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Unix (trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, developed in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research centre by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others. Initially intended for use inside the Bell System, AT&T licensed Unix to outside parties from the late 1970s, leading to a variety of both academic and commercial variants of Unix from vendors such as the University of California, Berkeley (BSD), Microsoft (Xenix), IBM (AIX) and Sun Microsystems (Solaris).
