Solution

The correct option is C application software
Software can be divided into two categories – system software and application software. Application software refers to programs designed to make users more productive and/or assist them with personal tasks. They can further be divided into-General purpose applications (basic applications which are widely used in nearly every discipline and occupation, eg., browsers, word processors, spreadsheets, DBMS, presentation graphics) and special purpose applications (advanced applications which narrowly focused on specific disciplines and occupations, eg., graphic programs, Audio/video editor, multimedia creator, virtual reality, etc).
