What is a user interface?

Graphical view of a computer system
Program that interacts with a user
Collection of input and output devices
Set of commands used to manage a computer

The correct answer is: Graphical view of a computer system

A user interface is a way for users to interact with a computer system. While all of the other options involve some form of interaction, they do not provide a complete understanding of what a user interface is. B is too narrow, as not all programs interact with users in the same way. Similarly, C only covers a portion of the devices that may be part of a user interface, and D relates more to the management of a computer rather than the interaction with it. A graphical view of a computer system, such as windows, icons, and menus, is the most comprehensive and accurate definition of a user interface.
