What type of software is used to create and manage databases?

  1. Database Management System (DBMS)

  2. Spreadsheet

  3. Word processing

  4. Networking

The correct answer is: Database Management System (DBMS)

Database Management System (DBMS) software is specifically designed to create and manage databases. It allows users to insert, update, and retrieve data in an organized manner. A spreadsheet is a tool for organizing and analyzing data, but it is not designed specifically for managing databases. Similarly, word processing software is used for creating and editing documents, not databases. Networking software is used to connect and communicate between computers, but it is not typically used for creating or managing databases. The best option for database creation and management is a Database Management System (DBMS).
