Software is the collection of large program or instruction of codes, which is used to perform some task. It is of two types of system software and application software.
The system software is used as a container for the application software and it is used to handle all other software it is used to operate the system.
Application software is used to perform any operation. This type of software can be used by the user if it is installed on the local machine on any system software
The operating system is also the part of the system software because it is used to operate the system and it is also the soul of the computer system which is also the function of the system software but the above question states that the operating system is not the part of the system software which is not correct. Hence false is the correct answer to the above question.
