Why is a proper shutdown process necessary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To avoid data loss and system errors
A proper shutdown gives the operating system time to save pending data, close files, stop processes, and safely power down hardware. Turning off power suddenly may lose unsaved work and, in some cases, leave files or the file system damaged. Therefore, users should save their work and use the system’s shutdown command rather than simply disconnecting power.
