Answer / guest
Answer: A
Middleware is independent software that connects two
otherwise separate applications sharing computing resources
across heterogeneous technologies. Firmware is software
(programs or data) that has been written onto read-only
memory (ROM). It is a memory chip with embedded program code
that holds its content when power is turned off. Firmware is
a combination of software and hardware. Application software
are programs that addresses an organization's processes and
functions as opposed to system software which enables the
computer to function. Embedded systems are built-in modules
for a specific purpose, for example SCARF.
