Answer 1

The correct response is:

The NOS provides more power and control over workstations on the network.

A standard operating system (OS) typically runs on a single device and manages hardware and software resources for that device, while a network operating system (NOS) is designed to manage network resources and provides facilities for users to connect and communicate across multiple devices in a network. This includes user account management, network security, and access to shared resources over the network, offering greater control and management capabilities.
