• D. Blind terminal

Answer 1

The correct option is E Dumb terminal

Traditionally, users connect to a mainframe using a terminal which allow them to input request to the mainframe. The mainframe would then handle all the computing before outputting a response. These terminals are called dumb-terminals because they had no data processing abilities of their own, they were simply windows through which users could access the mainframe.
