Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The series of instructions that tells the components of a computer how to perform tasks is called software. Memory refers to the physical components that store data and instructions, while firmware is a type of software that is embedded in hardware devices. However, while firmware is a type of software, it typically refers specifically to software that is closely tied to the hardware it is embedded in, rather than general-purpose software like operating systems or applications. Therefore, the best choice is B, software.
