Answer 1

Operating systems provide the following simplifying abstractions:

1. Resource delegation - Operating systems manage hardware resources and provide access to them in a controlled manner, allowing multiple applications to use the hardware without interfering with one another.

2. Shell interfaces - The shell interface allows users to interact with the operating system through commands, simplifying the process of managing files, running applications, and performing other tasks without needing to understand the underlying hardware.

The other options, "source code" and "personal computers," do not represent abstractions provided by operating systems.

So, the correct responses related to the abstraction provided by operating systems are:

• Resource delegation
• Shell interfaces
