What type of software is necessary for downloading additional applications or programs to a computer?

Database
Internet browser
Operating system
Search Tool

The correct answer is: Operating system

An operating system is necessary for downloading additional applications or programs to a computer because it manages the computer's resources and provides a platform for these programs to run on. A database is used for storing and organizing data, not downloading applications. An internet browser is used for accessing websites and content online, not downloading programs directly. A search tool is used for finding specific information within a computer or online, but it does not facilitate the downloading of programs.
