Hence the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

User interface:

The interaction between the user and the computer is provided by a facility in the operating system (OS) known as user interface. It is an important function of the OS.

There are three types of user interface; they are,

  • Graphical User Interface (GUI)
  • Menu-driven user interfaces
  • Command-line user interfaces

GUI (Graphical User Interface):

  • It is the most popular user interface design in use, which uses graphics and mouse click events to make the programs easier to use for the users.
  • Desktop is the screen image that helps the user to work in the computer in a user-friendly environment.

Menu-driven user interfaces:

  • The users need not memorize the keywords and commands that are used in the computer in menu-driven user interfaces.
  • It is operated using text-based file menus in the screen instead of using commands.
  • All the options are displayed on-screen at a given point of time; the user can select an option using the arrow keys and press enter in the keyboard.
  • Nowadays, the operating systems use both menu-driven and graphical user interfaces.

Command-line user interfaces:

  • Commands are used to instruct the operating system to perform the required operations.
  • The commands are needed to be memorized by the user, so it is not popular with the users.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Central Processing Unit:

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a part of computer that acts as the brain of the computer.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Control System:

Control system is used to manage the external devices that are connected to the system.

Hence, option “C” is wrong.

Interactivity System:

Interactivity systems are used in managing the batch process or background process that is executed behind the user without any action being performed.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Create an original network topology consisting of at least seven routers and twelve links, assigning arbitrary positive weights to each link. Using this topology, apply Dijkstra's Link-State Algorithm to compute the shortest paths from a source router of your choice to all other routers in the network. Your topology must be entirely your own design and should not resemble any examples from the textbook, lecture slides, or other students' work. Al-generated topologies are not permitted. Create a PowerPoint presentation that follows the format and style of slides 11 to 23 from Lecture Slide Set 06 (LS06). You should copy those slides and make any necessary changes, additions, or deletions to reflect your own topology, shortest-path calculations, and update tables. Do not alter the original slide style, layout, or formatting.
