A computer system customized for a specific application and ready to use is known as a/n:

Deterministic system.
EHR system.
Non deterministic system.
Turnkey system.

The correct answer is: Turnkey system.

A turnkey system is a type of computer system that is designed, built, and configured for a specific application, so it is ready for immediate use upon installation. This system requires minimal setup and is typically comprehensive, encompassing all necessary hardware and software components tailored to meet the needs of the user or organization from the outset. By contrast, deterministic and non-deterministic systems refer to the predictability of their outputs based on initial conditions or inputs, lacking the direct relationship to application readiness or customization in a practical use case. An EHR (Electronic Health Record) system is a specific type of application focused on managing patient records and health information, which may or may not be turnkey depending on its implementation. Thus, the definition and context of a turnkey system align perfectly with the concept of an immediate, application-specific solution requiring little to no additional configuration or input from the end user.
