What types of operating system architectures are supported?

The correct choice indicates that both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported. Most contemporary operating systems utilize either a 32-bit or a 64-bit architecture due to the various performance and memory utilization advantages that each offers.

In a 32-bit architecture, the system can access a limited amount of memory, typically up to 4 GB, which can restrict performance on modern applications that require more resources. In contrast, a 64-bit architecture allows systems to access a significantly higher amount of RAM, often above 4 GB, enabling better performance and the ability to run more intensive applications effectively.

This choice reflects the widespread adoption and compatibility of these two architectures in both consumer and enterprise environments. While some older systems may have used 16-bit architectures, this is largely outdated and not relevant to current mainstream operating systems. As for 128-bit systems, while theoretically possible, they are not practically implemented in consumer operating systems as of now. Therefore, the choice that highlights support for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems accurately reflects the primary architectures currently in use.
