Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The computer side of information systems includes the hardware (physical components) and software (programs that run on the hardware). Therefore, the best choice is option D, hardware and software. Option A (software and data) is incorrect because data is not a component of the computer itself, but rather the information that is processed by the computer. Option B (data and hardware) is incorrect because the order of the components is reversed and it does not accurately reflect the relationship between the two. Option C (people and procedures) is incorrect because it refers to the human and organizational components of information systems, which are not part of the computer side.
