Let's go through each of the questions one by one:

The colourful image on your desktop is known as:


c. Wallpaper

In the context of computers, a "wallpaper" is the background image on the desktop that users see when they open their computer. It can be a picture or design that the user chooses or that comes default with the operating system. It's meant to personalize and add a bit of color or design to the user's desktop environment.

This button resizes the window back:


a. Restore down

The "Restore down" button is one of the three common buttons found in the upper-right corner of a window on most computer operating systems. When a window is maximized (taking up the full screen), this button will resize it back to its previous smaller size, allowing you to view multiple windows side by side or do other tasks efficiently.

Mouse pointer is known as:


a. Tool activator

The mouse pointer, also commonly known as the cursor, is sometimes called a "tool activator" because it allows you to interact with the various tools and buttons on your computer screen. It's the graphical image on the screen that moves when you move your mouse, usually taking the shape of an arrow, but it can change shape depending on the context, indicating different actions or statuses, like a hand or a spinning circle for loading.
