What type of system would be used to build a web or mobile app?

  1. Operating system

  2. Database

  3. Platform

  4. Programming language

The correct answer is: Programming language

Building a web or mobile app requires the use of a programming language, as it is necessary for creating the code that allows the app to function and interact with users. While an operating system is necessary for the device to run the app, it is not the system used to actually build the app. A database is a collection of organized data, so it is not the system used to build the app itself. A platform can refer to a variety of things, but in this context, it is not the system used to build the app, as it is typically a combination of tools and services used for deploying and managing the app. Therefore, the best option is D programming language.
