  • Software is a set of instructions that guides the hardware of a computer on what to do. Without software, the hardware would remain idle and would not be able to perform any meaningful tasks. Software, therefore, is the one that gives the hardware the power and the capacity to do more. Software has the power to maximize the usage of the hardware, though it does not change the hardware's specifications or speed.
  • Qucik Info: Why (B) option is not appropriate? The speed of the CPU (clock speed) is a fixed physical characteristic determined by its hardware design and architecture. Software can improve the efficiency of how the CPU is used through optimization, but it cannot increase the hardware's rated processing speed.
