What type of software application makes it possible to store and manipulate data?

  1. Graphics

  2. Spreadsheet

  3. Word Processor

  4. Database

The correct answer is: Database

Database is the correct answer because it is specifically designed to store and organize data in a structured and easily retrievable manner. This type of software is commonly used for businesses and organizations to keep track of large amounts of information. Graphics, spreadsheet, and word processor are incorrect choices as they do not have the same functionality as a database. Graphics software is used for creating visual designs, while a spreadsheet is used for organizing data into tables and performing calculations. Word processors are primarily used for creating and editing text documents.
