Solution

The correct option is A Mainframe Computer

IBM System/ 360 is Mainframe Computer.

The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a family of mainframe computer systems that was announced by IBM on April 7, 1964, and delivered between 1965 and 1978. It was the first family of computers designed to cover the complete range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific.

IBM quit making PCs in 2005, and it quit making servers last year. But it looks like Big Blue will keep pumping out its mainframes forever. ... Mainframes—the refrigerator-sized, pre-PC computers beloved of government, corporations, and Tron—were long synonymous with IBM, which introduced its first mainframe in 1952.

Currently IBM system z is the primary mainframe. Depending upon the definition, IBM isystem computers are sometimes considered mainframes. Burroughs, Fujitsu, Hitachi, and Compaq (DEC) make or made computers considered mainframes. The most prevalent current example is the IBM Z mainframe.
