What type of software would you use to open an archived file?

Backup
Compression
Macro
Antivirus

The correct answer is: Compression

To open an archived file, you would use compression software. This type of software is specifically designed to compress and decompress files, making it the ideal choice for opening an archived file. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they serve different purposes. A backup software is used for creating duplicate copies of data, a macro software is used for automating tasks, and an antivirus is used for detecting and removing viruses from a computer. These options are not relevant to the question and would not be helpful in opening an archived file.
