Question

Which of these usually runs in the background without much interaction with the user?
system software
application software
GUI
input/output devices

Answer 1

The option that usually runs in the background without much interaction with the user is **system software**. System software, which includes the operating system and utility programs, manages hardware and software resources on a computer and often operates without direct user involvement. In contrast, application software typically requires direct interaction from users to perform specific tasks. GUI (Graphical User Interface) is a type of interface that allows users to interact with the software and is not a software type itself. Input/output devices are hardware that facilitates interaction between the user and the computer system.
