Question

what type of software keeps the computer running and is always working in the background?
○ ios
○ utility software
○ application software
○ gaming software

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "iOS" is an operating system (OS), but the option here is misspelled as "ios" and also, the question is about a type of software category. Utility software is designed to help manage, maintain, and control computer resources, running in the background to ensure the system functions.
• "Application Software" is for specific user tasks (like word processing), not background system maintenance.
• "Gaming Software" is a type of application software for games, not for system operations.
• "Utility Software" (e.g., antivirus, disk cleanup) runs in the background to keep the computer running smoothly.

Answer:

B. Utility Software (assuming the options are labeled A: ios, B: Utility Software, C: Application Software, D: Gaming Software; adjust label as per actual numbering, but the correct option is the one with "Utility Software")
