The equipment with which the computer talks to its users is called a.
The correct option is B Peripheral
The equipment with which
the computer talks to its users is called a Peripheral.
The hardware devices
attached to the computer are called peripheral equipment. Peripheral equipment
includes all input, output, and secondary storage devices. In the case of
personal computers, some of the input, output, and storage devices are built
into the same physical unit. In many personal computers, the CPU and disk drive
are all contained in the same housing; the keyboard, mouse, and screen are
separate.
In larger computer
systems, however, the input, processing, output, and storage functions may be
in separate rooms, separate buildings, or even separate countries. For example,
data may be input on terminals at a branch bank and then transmitted to the
central processing unit at the headquarters bank. The information produced by
the central processing unit may then be transmitted to the international
offices, where it is printed out. Meanwhile, disks with stored data may be kept
in bank headquarters and duplicate data kept on disk or tape in a warehouse
across town for safekeeping.
