Solution

The correct option is B second

From second generation computers the printers were used.

A transistor computer, now often called a second generation computer, is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The first generation of electronic computers used vacuum tubes, which generated large amounts of heat, were bulky, and were unreliable.

The first computer in this series is the IBM 1401. The 1401 was a computer system that used transistors instead of the vacuum tubes found in previous IBM computers. The system contained many peripherals, which included, among others, a new high-speed printer. This printer could print 600 lines per minute.

second-generation computer - Computer Definition. A computer made of discrete transistors and other electronic components. In the early 1960s, the IBM 1401 and Honeywell 400 were examples. See computer generations, IBM 1401 and Honeywell.
