विंडोज ऑपरेटींग सिस्टीमच्या स्क्रीन वर खालच्या बाजूस दिसणाऱ्या पट्टीला काय म्हणतात ?

The correct answer is Option C (Task bar).

Key Points:
• In the Microsoft Windows operating system, the narrow horizontal strip located by default at the very bottom of the desktop display is called the Taskbar.
• Key Components of Taskbar:
• Start Button: Provides access to programs, settings, and documents.
• Quick Launch / Pinned Applications: Allows rapid launching of frequently used software.
• Active Applications Area: Shows currently running tasks or open windows as buttons or icons, allowing fast switching between active windows.
• System Tray / Notification Area: Displays background utilities, volume control, network connectivity, and the system clock.
• Menu bar and Toolbar typically reside at the top of individual application windows rather than globally at the base of the desktop screen.
• Hence, the bar at the bottom is the Task bar (Option 3).
• Key Takeaway: The default horizontal bar located at the bottom of the Windows desktop screen is the Taskbar.
