Jack updated his MacBook operating system to the latest beta version. A few hours later, while using his MacBook, Jack finds that some installed applications are not functioning properly, possibly because the beta update is bug-ridden. He therefore decides to restore his MacBook to the previous OS version. Which MacBook feature should Jack use in this situation?

Explanation

Time Machine is macOS’s built-in backup and restoration feature. It preserves dated backups of user data, applications, and settings, allowing a Mac to be recovered to an earlier backed-up state after a problematic update. In current macOS releases, macOS may need to be reinstalled through Recovery before Time Machine data is restored.
