Windows versions 1.x-3.x, 9x, ME are DOS-based; NT, 200x, XP, Vista are not.
MS-DOS is also an operating system. Earlier versions of Windows could arguably be called "shells", rather than actual operating systems. However, Windows 95, 98, and ME primarily use MS-DOS as just a bootloader, and provide their own drivers and libraries for controlling the hardware and resources. Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Vista do not rely on DOS at all, and are undeniably operating systems in their own right.
No. You can go to a DOS like prompt and use DOS like commands, however, current versions of Windows are no longer based on DOS.

False.
The modern versions will not work on DOS. The very early versions did, running through the windows environment before Windows became an operating system. These would be versions like Windows 3.1 or Windows 3.11 which you would have found on computers in the early 1990s.
A stand alone operating system is a system that is independent of another. For example, windows 3.1, 95, 98 were all a shell based on the ms-dos operating system. To put it in simpler terms, windows was a dressed up version of ms-dos with all the bells and whistles to be more appealing to the eye and be more user friendly. Later versions of windows were independent of the ms-dos operating system hence they are known as "stand alone operating systems" .
