Explanation:

Question 6

A file management system in an OS (operating system) is designed to handle how files are stored, organized, and retrieved. The other options: providing a user interface is more about shell/UI components, connecting to the internet is for network components, and managing hardware resources is for the OS's resource management (like CPU, memory), not files. So the purpose is to manage storage and retrieval of data files.

System software is software that manages computer hardware and provides a platform for other software. Microsoft Windows is an operating system, which falls under system software. Programming software is for developing programs (like IDEs), and application software is for end - user tasks (like word processors). So Windows is system software.

Answer:

To manage the storage and retrieval of data files (the option with the filled radio button: "To manage the storage and retrieval of data files")
