Question

which statement about the discipline of information systems is true?
a. it involves physical computer systems, network connections, and circuit boards.
b. it involves all facets of how computers and computer systems work.
c. it involves organizing and maintaining computer networks.
d. it involves connecting computer systems and users together.

Explanation:

• Option A: Physical computer components like circuit boards are more related to computer hardware engineering, not information systems.
• Option B: "All facets of how computers work" is too broad and leans more towards computer science (hardware/software internals), not info systems which focuses on the interaction between systems, people, and data.
• Option C: Organizing and maintaining computer networks is network administration, a subset of IT but not the core of information systems.
• Option D: Information systems focus on integrating computer systems with users (and processes) to manage information, so connecting them aligns with this.

Answer:

D. It involves connecting computer systems and users together.
