Solution

The correct option is C Applications

The software tools that enable a user to interact with a computer for specific purpose are known as Applications.

An application software (app or application for short) is computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user.

Software and Hardware work together to process the input. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) processes input into output through the fetch-execute cycle. The CPU is made up of several different parts including: Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU) and various registers.

Next we look at how an OS uses device drivers and the BIOS to manage hardware. Device drivers are software designed to interface with specific hardware devices. They are stored on the hard drive and installed when the OS is first installed or when new hardware is added to a system.
