Which TWO of the following are examples of application software? (Select TWO).

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is an example of application software because it is a program designed to perform specific tasks for end users, such as photo editing and graphic design. Application software runs on top of system software (like an operating system) and directly serves user needs, unlike system software which manages hardware or provides a platform for other software.
