What term refers to the part of a computer application that users interact with visually?

  1. Electronic data interchange

  2. Graphical user interface

  3. Hypertext markup language

  4. Modem

The correct answer is: Graphical user interface

The correct term that describes the part of a computer application that users interact with visually is the graphical user interface (GUI). A GUI provides a visual representation of the application's functionalities, allowing users to navigate and perform tasks using icons, buttons, menus, and other visual elements. This approach makes it more intuitive for users to interact with software compared to text-based interfaces, as it leverages visual cues to enhance user experience and comprehension. The other terms mentioned do not pertain specifically to the visual aspects of user interaction. Electronic data interchange refers to the electronic transmission of structured data, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language used to create web pages, and a modem is a device that modulates and demodulates signals for communication over telephone lines. Each of these options serves a different purpose in the computing ecosystem, but none encapsulate the concept of visual user interaction that a graphical user interface does.
