What type of program would you use to keep track of financial accounts?

  1. Word processing

  2. Database

  3. Accounting

  4. Image editor

The correct answer is: Accounting

Accounting programs are specifically designed for managing financial accounts and transactions. They have features and functions that are tailored to this specific purpose, making them the most efficient and effective option for this task. Word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word, are primarily used for creating and editing documents, not for financial management. Database programs, such as Microsoft Excel, can be used for financial purposes, but they are not as specialized or advanced as accounting programs. Image editors, like Adobe Photoshop, are used for graphic design and editing images, and are not suitable for financial tracking.
