The correct option is C Sting Ray Torpedo
Sting Ray Torpedo is the first guided weapon in the world
which used a programmable digital computer.
The Sting Ray torpedo is a current British acoustic
homing light-weight torpedo (LWT) manufactured by GEC-Marconi, who were later
bought out by BAE Systems. It entered service in 1983.
A torpedo tube is a cylinder shaped device for launching
torpedoes. There are two main types of torpedo tube: underwater tubes fitted to
submarines and some surface ships, and deck-mounted units (also referred to as
torpedo launchers) installed aboard surface vessels.
Colossus was a set of computers developed by British
codebreakers in the years 1943–1945 to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz
cipher. Colossus used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform Boolean and
counting operations. Colossus is thus regarded as the world's first
programmable, electronic, digital computer, although it was programmed by
switches and plugs and not by a stored program.
