The correct option is B Mark-I
The first machine to successfully perform a long
series of arithmetic and logical operations was Mark-I.
Conceived by Harvard physics professor Howard
Aiken, and designed and built by IBM, the Harvard Mark 1 is a room-sized,
relay-based calculator. The machine had a fifty-foot long camshaft running the
length of machine that synchronized the machine's thousands of component parts
and used 3,500 relays.
The name Mark means consecrated to the god Mars.
Mark is a common male given name and is derived from old Latin
"Mart-kos", which means "consecrated to the god Mars", and
also may mean "God of war" or "to be warlike"
("Martial") (compare Martin). Marcus was one of the three most common
Roman given names.
Mark I or Mark 1 often refers to the first version
of a weapon or military vehicle, and is sometimes used in a similar fashion in
civilian product development. In some instances, the Arabic numeral
"1" is substituted for the Roman numeral "I".
"Mark", meaning "model" or "variant", can itself
be abbreviated "Mk."
