What type of computer system is used in a smartphone?

Nintendo
Mainframe
Embedded
Personal

The correct answer is: Embedded

A Nintendo is an incorrect option as it is a Japanese video game console company, not a type of computer system. B: Mainframe is an incorrect option as it is a large and powerful computer system used by organizations to process large amounts of data and perform complex operations. A smartphone does not have the same capabilities as a mainframe. D: Personal is an incorrect option as it refers to a desktop or laptop computer that is designed for personal use. A smartphone is a handheld device that is portable and not designed for general personal use like a personal computer. The correct answer is C: Embedded. A smartphone uses an embedded computer system, which is a combination of hardware and software that is designed for a specific function or purpose. In this case, the embedded system in a smartphone is responsible for running apps, making calls, and connecting to the internet.
