Appplication software solves problems for some end-user, e.g, payroll, video games, factory control, railway reservation software

System software helps one manage the computer (operating systems, browsers, backup software).

Development software is used to build system or application software (and sometimes even other development software)

I would categorize compilers as development software.

an answer would be "2"
