The correct option is A IBM
Floppy Disk Drives were first introduced by IBM
computer manufacturers.
IBM first introduced the 8-inch FDD in 1971 as a
read only program load device. In 1973 IBM shipped its first read/write floppy
disk drive as a part of the 3740 Data Entry System. IBM established early
standards in 8" FDDs but never sold such products separately so that the
industry then developed separate from IBM.
The floppy disk drive (FDD) was invented at IBM by
Alan Shugart in 1967. The first floppy drives used an 8-inch disk (later called
a "diskette" as it got smaller), which evolved into the 5.25-inch
disk that was used on the first IBM Personal Computer in August 1981.
The diskette, or floppy disk (named so because they
were flexible), was invented by IBM and in common use from the mid-1970s to the
late 1990s. The first floppy disks were 8 inches, and later in came 5.25 and
3.5-inch formats. The first floppy disk, introduced in 1971, had a capacity of
79.7 kB, and was read-only.
