Answer

Correct option: B - System

System software is designed to manage and control the hardware of a computer and provide a platform for running application software. The operating system (OS) -- such as Windows, Linux, or macOS -- is the primary example of system software. It controls all operations of the computer including memory management, process scheduling, input/output operations, and file management. Application software performs specific tasks for users, while utility software performs maintenance tasks.
