  2. It is a group of related computer components

  3. It is a set of instructions for a computer program

The correct answer is: It is a collection of hardware and software components

A computer system is defined as a collection of hardware and software components that work together to complete a specific task. This includes physical components such as keyboards, monitors, and processors, as well as intangible components such as operating systems and applications. Option B is incorrect as it does not include the software aspect of a computer system. Option C is incorrect as instructions for a computer program are only a part of the overall system. Option D is incorrect as it does not necessarily involve computers working together, but rather focuses on the connection between multiple computers.
