That's sufficiently vague to mean either a kernel or a whole OS.
E.g. X11 would probably fall into this description, as would a DNS
caching proxy, the /sbin/init program, or even gdm, network-manager,
gnome-power-manager, nfsd, ...

In most circumstances, nowadays, a kernel is a very far cry from
a "fully functioning operating system". The Linux kernel is no
exception here.
