Answer 1

The correct response is **time sharing/multitasking operating system**.

A time sharing operating system allows multiple users to interact with a computer system simultaneously. In this case, various computers connect to a single host computer and share its resources, which is characteristic of a time-sharing setup.

The other options pertain to different operating system models:

- **Batch operating system** processes jobs in batches without manual intervention.
- **Network operating system** connects multiple computers over a network but does not specifically describe the setup of connecting multiple computers to a single host in the manner described.
- **Real-time operating system** is designed for systems that require immediate processing and response to inputs.
