DOS is text based interface.

Windows is point and click by graphic/visual.. example.

None of the above listed are types of operating systems.
GUI - Graphical User Interface - an abstract layer on top of an operating system to allow user interaction
DOS - Disk Operating System - A type of command line interface into a command based operating system.
Windows - A concept of graphical interface with frames for interacting with the underlying operating system. Frequently users assocaite Windows with Microsoft Windows while the term is generically a graphical window based user interface. Other Windows environments include XWindows, KDE, GNome, and many others.
Text-based - Simply means that the interface is character based rather than graphical.
I would argue that none of the entries from your teacher are types of operating systems but rather they are interfaces to the underlying operating system.
From the Wikipedia link below:
"Most operating systems come with an application that provides a user interface for managing the operating system, such as a command line interpreter or graphical user interface. The operating system forms a platform for other system software and for application software."
Notice that the options your teacher provided are really interfaces included with most operating systems.

Text-based and GUI are the TYPES of operating systems. Windows and DOS are specific EXAMPLES of these types of operating systems.

possibly you ought to first study what a pc is... of route you're thoroughly puzzled. to respond to your questions interior the most uncomplicated way a possibility: DOS is over with. that's extinct. you should use a dos/form ecosystem stated as Command instantaneous (no longer a similar) living house windows promises a image consumer interface (GUI) which makes use of a mouse/icons/and so on. CD-ROM: promises a thanks to get entry to ascertain-in uncomplicated words information. information is principally used for short-time period get entry to. a common operating gadget is put in on a tricky force. Floppy Disk: quite many times extinct because of the low volume of cupboard area accessible. many times used to flash a BIOS. do not ask... Pen Drives: The alternative of the floppy force. Can carry fairly a lot of information and is linked to the computer by the USB port (sq. port on the front/lower back of a pc that has a touch stick-guy-form form next to it). Of all storage contraptions, the USB PenDrive is the optimum to apply. the most sturdy and most lasting force might want to be the CD-ROM pending it remains scratch loose. The CD-ROM will be submerged in water, uncovered to chilly/warmth (in all fairness). The CD-ROM would properly be comfortable to scratches, even if it does very last. even if, it would want to be extra reported to keep information of value on an exterior tricky force, then keep the tricky force in a chance-free area which incorporates a chance-free-deposit container. what's up with the simplistic questions? No offense. The questions are very juvenile, it truly is all.
