What type of software does a database utilize?

Visualization software
Client-server software
Utility software
System software

The correct answer is: Client-server software

A database utilizes client-server software in order to allow multiple users to access and manipulate data stored in the database. Visualization software, utility software, and system software do not pertain directly to the functioning of a database and are therefore incorrect choices. Visualization software is primarily used for creating visual models or representations, while utility software helps manage computer resources and optimize performance. System software refers to operating systems and other foundational software needed to run a computer. Therefore, these options are not the best choices for the type of software utilized by a database.
