Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
An embedded system is usually designed for a dedicated task. Common characteristics include being reactive and real-time, single-functioned, and tightly constrained by resources such as memory, power, cost, and processing capacity. Being multi-functioned is a characteristic of a general-purpose computer, not a typical embedded system.
