Why might a large research company use the Linux operating system? A. It can be modified to fit the specific needs of the company. B. It costs more than other operating systems and is therefore better. C. The other operating systems cannot be used for research studies. D. It has more graphics than the other operating systems.

I'd choose A. Linux is open source; companies can modify the code anyway they want it.

B does not make sense. Linux is free and open source. Also, something that costs more isn't necessarily the best choice.

C also isn't plausible. Other operating systems like Windows and Macs are not "bad" for research, per se. You can definitely do research with other operating systems.

D implies that the visuals are important for research companies in general, which isn't true
