D

Answer to Question 2

Information technology (IT) consists of all the hardware and software that a firm needs to use to achieve its business objectives. Information systems are more complex. An information system can be defined technically as a set of interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store, and distribute information to support decision making and control in an organization.
An information system:
supports decision making, coordination, and control
helps employees analyze problems
helps employees visualize complex subjects
helps create new products
