a user selecting an app to open on the home screen of a tablet

Answer 1

Abstraction in computing refers to the concept of hiding the complex reality while exposing only the necessary parts. In this context, the best example of abstraction is:

a user selecting an app to open on the home screen of a tablet

This choice illustrates how users interact with a simplified interface (the home screen and app icons) without needing to understand the intricate details of the underlying system processes that occur when an app is launched. The complexities of the operating system and app functionalities are abstracted away from the user.
