Answer:

Concurrent software is better suited to parallel processing environment represented by multiprocessors as compared to sequential software.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequential software corresponds to a code which is executed step by step on a single processing unit. A concurrent software on the other hand supports parallel execution by splitting the execution across multiple parallely executing component units. A multiprocessor system speeds up concurrent execution by providing independent execution units (processors) for these code segments running parallely. So concurrent software is better suited to multiprocessors.
