What is the most common type of application software?

Operating system
Utility files
Spreadsheet
Database

The correct answer is: Spreadsheet

Spreadsheet is the most common type of application software because it is used for organizing, analyzing and storing data in a tabular format. It is commonly utilized in businesses, schools, and personal use. Operating system is not an application software, it is a system software that manages the computer's hardware and other software. Utility files and databases are also not considered application software because they serve a specific purpose for the computer, such as optimizing performance or storing large amounts of data, rather than being used for a wide range of tasks. While they may be frequently used, they do not fall under the category of application software.
