I thought Energia is to controll hardware thus it's a system software?

But in quiz it says application software, why?

Hi Faith, From what I understand, System Softwares are operational systems, they are softwares that control your system. Such as Windows, Linux.

Energia is an application where you can write code. What you create with energia might control systems, but not the application itself.
