Correct Answer

(1) Interactive banking systems
(2) E-commerce systems
(3) Booking systems for flights or hotels
(4) Information systems for library catalogues
(5) Resource management systems

Explanation

Transaction processing systems include: interactive banking systems, e-commerce systems, information systems (library catalogues, flight timetables, patient records), and booking systems. Information and resource management systems are also transaction-based. A batch scientific simulation running without user interaction is not a TP system - TP systems are interactive, with users making asynchronous requests for service.
