Which term describes a group of components designed to work together for a specific purpose?

• A. System
• B. Module
• C. Component
• D. Framework

Answer: (A)

A system is an organized collection of parts that interact to achieve a shared function. When components are designed to work together, their interactions enable outputs that none could produce alone, like a computer system where hardware, software, and networks coordinate to run programs. A module, by contrast, is just one piece of functionality within a larger system, not the whole group. A single component refers to an individual part rather than the entire set. A framework provides the structure and reusable patterns to build parts, but it isn’t itself the assembled group functioning toward a specific goal.
