Explanation:

• For question 13: Upgrading computer software means replacing the existing software with a new version that typically offers enhanced features, better performance, or compatibility. Installing new hardware (system unit or peripherals) is related to hardware, not software. Installing a fix for a problem is a software patch, not an upgrade.
• For question 14: A graphical user interface (GUI) allows users to interact with a computer using visual elements like icons, windows, and a mouse. Application software is for specific tasks (e.g., word processing). Antivirus software protects against malware. The Windows platform is an operating - system family, and while it has a GUI, the more general term for the invention described is GUI.
