The correct option is C Both (a) and (b)

A data terminal serves as a (n) Effector and Sensor.

Three basic types of terminals are (1) Dumb terminal: has no built-in data processing capabilities and serves only to send and receive data, (2) Smart terminal: has limited data processing capabilities, and (3) Intelligent terminal: has substantial data processing capabilities due to inbuilt processor and memory.

In the context of telecommunications, a terminal is a device which ends a telecommunications link and is the point at which a signal enters and/or leaves a network. Examples of equipment containing network terminations are telephones, fax machines, computer terminals and network devices, printers and workstations.

When a receptor is stimulated, it sends a signal along the nerve cells (called neurones) to the central nervous system. (See diagram to the left.) Usually, the brain - which is part of the nervous system - coordinates a response. Effectors. An effector is any part of the body that produces the response.
