Explanation

A spreadsheet handles numeric data and calculations for the end user.

A word processor creates and edits text documents for the end user.

A database stores and manages structured records for the end user.

An operating system is system software that runs the machine, not an application.

A compiler is a translator utility that converts source code, not an end-user application.
