1) Hardware resources refer to the physical components of a computer or device, such as the processor, memory, hard drive, and input/output devices. These resources are used by software programs to perform tasks and carry out instructions.

While firmware is a type of software that is embedded in hardware devices and provides low-level control over the device's functions, drivers are software programs that allow the operating system to interact with the firmware and hardware components.
