Apple
B)
Microsoft
C)
Motorola
D)
Bell Laboratories

Correct Answer : Option (D) - Bell Laboratories



The original Unix operating system was developed at AT&T's Bell Labs research center in 1969. In the 1970s and 1980s, AT&T licensed Unix to third-party vendors, leading to the development of several Unix variants, including Berkeley Unix, HP-UX, AIX, and Microsoft's Xenix. In 1993, AT&T sold the rights to the Unix operating system to Novell, Inc., which a few years later sold the Unix trademark to the consortium that eventually became The Open Group.
 
Unix (officially UNIX) is a registered trademark of The Open Group  that refers to a family of computer operating systems and tools conforming to The Open Group Base Specification, Issue 7  (also known as POSIX.1-2008 or IEEE Std 1003.1 - 2008).
