The correct answer is Application software.

Key Points

• Spreadsheets, photo editing, PowerPoint, word documents, etc, are examples of Application software.
• Application software, or app for short, is software that performs specific tasks for an end-user.
• Effectively, if the user is interacting directly with a piece of software it is application software.
• For example, Microsoft Word or Excel is application software, as are common web browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome.

Additional Information

• System Software
• System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application programs.
• If we think of the computer system as a layered model, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications.
• The operating system is the best-known example of system software.
• The OS manages all the other programs on a computer.
• System software is used to manage the computer itself.
• It runs in the background, maintaining the computer's basic functions so users can run higher-level application software to perform certain tasks.
• Essentially, system software provides a platform for application software to be run on top of.
• System software generally includes the following features:
• High speed
• System software must be as efficient as possible to provide an effective platform for higher-level software in the computer system.
• Hard to manipulate
• It often requires the use of a programming language, which is more difficult to use than a more intuitive user interface (UI).
• Written in a low-level computer language
• System software must be written in a computer language the central processing unit (CPU) and other computer hardware can read.
• Close to the system
• It connects directly to the hardware that enables the computer to run.
• Versatile
• System software must communicate with both the specialized hardware it runs on and the higher-level application software that is usually hardware-agnostic and often has no direct connection to the hardware it runs on.
• The platform is hardware and software architecture that acts as a foundation or base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed.
• In computing, platform refers to basic hardware i.e., computer system, and software i.e., the operating system on which software applications are often run.

The correct answer is Insert Picture

Key Points

• Insert Picture: PowerPoint does allow users to add images, charts, shapes, and more to slides. However, this option does not typically present itself in the text formatting options when you select text. Instead, you usually find this option in the menu bar at the top of the program interface, under the "Insert" tab. Thus, it is not directly associated with the Text Format options as it does not format the selected text but inserts a new element, a picture in this case, into your slide.

When you select a piece of text in PowerPoint 365, Microsoft's application presents several formatting options that are directly applicable to text. Here is a general description of the options you mentioned:

• Numbering or Bullets: This option lets you add bullets or numbers before each item in a list. It helps organize information in a clean and legible way, especially when listing key points.
• Font Color: This option changes the color of the text. You can choose from present colors or customize your own to emphasize or distinguish parts of your text.
• Align Text: This option adjusts alignment of your text: left, centered, right, or justifying.

The correct answer is Restarting computer.

Key Points

• The process of starting a computer is known as booting.
• It can be triggered by either hardware, such as a button press, or software, such as a command.
• The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer has no software in its main memory when it is turned on, thus some processes must load software into memory before it can be run.
• This can be done by the CPU's hardware or firmware, or by a separate processor in the system.
• Rebooting a computer is another term for restarting a computer. Rebooting can be "hard," such as when the power to the CPU is switched from off to on, or "soft," when the power is not cut.

The correct answer is One-Time Password.
