Solution

The correct option is C third generation computers

Assembly language started to be used from third generation computers.

The period of third generation was from 1964 to 1971. Integrated circuits (IC's) are used in third generation computers. The integrated circuit was invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce.

A third-generation programming language (3GL) is a generational way to categorize high-level computer programming languages. ... A programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent from a particular type of computer.

The term was coined to provide a distinction from higher level third-generation programming languages (3GL) such as COBOL and earlier first-generation programming language (machine code languages).

Third Generation: Integrated Circuits (1964-1971) The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
