on the shelf: software that was created to solve many different problems, it could solve most of yours, it's going to have a bunch of functions that are never going to be used and it may lack some that you just wish it had...\n\nTailor-made: software designed to your needs, it will solve all your problems. It will cost more money (Maybe a lot more) and it may not be good for anyone else but you.

An application software package is software that runs "on top of" the OS and performs a given task or set of tasks that are related.  For instance, Microsoft Office is designed with the task of being an integrated suite of office applications, such  as a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation software and document integration facilities.  An example of a smaller application software package is AVG Antivirus by Grisoft.  The program in this case is designed to handle one task using all the peripheral tasks to accomplish it, that being virus protection.

There is not any instance in which (d) could be the correct answer because (d) is grammatically incorrect. The "many things" must be referred to in a plural noun to make the response balance. You wouldn't say "What are it?" because you are referring to more than one thing. The (c) answer, "What are they? clearly asks of all the things he has in is box, What things are in the box?

Computer software (or simply software) is that part of a computer system that consists of encoded information as opposed to the physical computer equipment (hardware) which is used to store and process this information. The term is roughly synonymous with computer program but is more generic in scope.\n\nThe term "software" was first used in this sense by John W. Tukey in 1957. In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data. The concept of software was first proposed by Alan Turing in an essay.\n\nIn strict layman terms, the part of the computer which is not touch and feel is software. \n\n[In retailing, software refers to clothing. \nIn mechanical engineering, software refers to rubber gaskets and seals.]
