Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transaction processing systems are designed to process data from day-to-day business operations, such as inventory management, order processing, and financial transactions. They focus on the efficient and reliable execution of these routine activities. A is incorrect because TP systems do not necessarily provide job-related information to users at all levels of a company; that is the role of management information systems. B is incorrect because TP systems do not simulate human reasoning or use knowledge bases and inference rules. D is incorrect because the technologies listed are not all components of a TP system; some may be included in a broader information system.
