Correct Answer

Correct Answer Explanation:

The OS is system software — it directly controls and manages computer hardware and provides the environment where application software runs.

Why the other options are incorrect:

Option A: Application software (like Word, Chrome) runs ON TOP of the OS. The OS is a lower-level system layer.
Option C: Utility software (like antivirus, disk cleaner) is a helper program — the OS is broader than a utility.
Option D: Firmware is embedded in specific hardware (like BIOS). The OS is separate, larger software.
