Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The main software categories are typically divided into System software (such as the operating system and other utilities), Development software (such as compilers and IDEs), and Application software (which includes a wide range of programs for specific tasks). This answer aligns with those three categories. Option A is not completely correct as Open Source is a characteristic of software, not a category, and it is often found across multiple categories. Option B includes Shareware, which is a distribution method rather than a software category. Option D includes Demoware, which is again a distribution method rather than a software category.
