The underlying platform name refers to the specific operating system and its version running on a computer or system. It provides information about the environment in which a program is executed. The platform name typically includes details such as the operating system's name, version, and sometimes additional information like the machine type or architecture.
For example, on a Windows system, the underlying platform name might look like:
Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0
The platform.platform() or platform.uname() functions in Python can be used to retrieve this information, providing a convenient way for your code to adapt or make decisions based on the characteristics of the underlying platform.
The function that should be used to determine the underlying platform name is:
A. platform.python_version() returns the version of Python that is currently running.
B. platform.processor() returns the processor name of the underlying platform.
C. platform.platform() returns a single string containing as much information about the underlying platform as feasible, including the operating system name, version, and hardware architecture.
D. platform.uname() returns a tuple containing several pieces of information about the underlying platform, including the operating system name, version, release, and hardware architecture.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. platform.platform().
