DOne that is meant for application software

Correct answer: (B) One that is assigned one and only one task

Explanation

A dedicated computer is set aside to carry out one specific task or application at all times.

Being used by a single person describes a usage pattern, not dedication to a task.

Using one kind of software is a software limitation, not the meaning of dedicated.

Being meant for application software describes a role, not a single fixed task.

Such machines run continuously for their one purpose, like a print or file server.

Add-on: an embedded controller inside an appliance is a common example of a dedicated computer.
