What type of application categorizes data into related information that can be retrieved in response to queries?

  1. Database

  2. Graphics

  3. Word Processor

  4. Spreadsheet

The correct answer is: Database

A database is a software application that manages and stores data in such a way that it can be easily organized, managed, and retrieved in response to queries. Graphics, word processors, and spreadsheets do not typically have the capability to organize and retrieve data in this manner. While spreadsheets have some data management features, they are not as robust and specialized as a database. Therefore, option A, database, is the most appropriate answer for this question.
