A company secretary at a manufacturing firm needs a system that records day-to-day routine events such as sales invoices, purchase receipts and payroll entries, and produces the base data used by higher-level systems. Which type of information system is this?

A Transaction Processing System is the correct answer because it records and processes routine day-to-day business events like invoices, receipts and payroll, creating the base operational data that management-level systems later use for reporting and analysis.
