Components of computer system are?

The correct answer is Both Hardware and Software because a functional computer system requires the synchronization of physical machinery and operational programs to execute tasks.

• Step 1 (Definition): A standard computer system is fundamentally split into two primary segments: Hardware (the tangible physical elements like the CPU, RAM, and motherboard) and Software (the intangible instructions, data, and operating systems that tell the hardware exactly what to do).


• Step 2 (Application): Neither component can function without the other; hardware requires software instructions to run, and software requires physical hardware circuits to execute its code. (Note: The option text has been cleaned up from 'Both A and' to 'Both Hardware and Software' for complete clarity).


• Incorrect Options:
  
  
  
  • Hardware is incorrect by itself because raw physical components without software instructions remain completely inert and non-functional.
  
  
  • Software is incorrect by itself because code strings and operating programs cannot run without physical circuits and processors to read them.
  
  
  • Applications is incorrect because apps are simply a specific subcategory of software rather than a primary, overarching foundational division of a computer system.
