Option E.

It has garnered 20 percent of the server operating system market.

Explanation:

Linus despite being a powerful operating system has not yet been able to garner 20 percent of the server operating system market. That area is still dominated by the Microsoft server, which has a majority of the market shares.

Windows server has about 73% market shares while Linux, Unix and other servers share the remaining percentage. This leaves Linux with about 13% of the server operating system market share.
