A1 & 2 only

B3 & 4 only ✓ Correct

C1 & 3 only

D2 & 4 only

Correct answer: (B) 3 & 4 only

Explanation

A keylogger secretly records keystrokes, making it a form of spyware, and an Excel workbook can indeed contain several worksheets.

Statement 3 is true, as a keylogger covertly captures typed input and reports it to an attacker.

Statement 4 is true, since one Excel workbook file can hold many spreadsheet tabs.

Statement 1 is false because software runs from primary memory after loading, not directly from secondary storage.

Statement 2 is false because Microsoft Excel is application software, not system software.

System software such as the operating system manages hardware and runs application programs.
