Solution

The correct option is B Printer

Dot-matrix is a type of Printer.

A dot matrix printer is an impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires. In contrast, inkjet and laser printers technically exhibit dot matrix printing, but they are not considered "dot matrix printers".

A printer that uses hammers and a ribbon to form images from dots. Used to print multipart forms and address labels, the tractor and sprocket mechanism in these devices handles thicker media better than laser and inkjet printers. Also known as a "serial dot matrix printer."

All dot matrix printers create characters on paper by striking an inked ribbon with a hard surface. Unlike typewriters, which use a similar mechanism, dot matrix printers do not have fixed character shapes or fonts. Instead, each individual character is formed by the arrangement of a series of pins.
