Solution

The correct option is A Analytical Engine

Analytical Engine was the computer conceived by Babbage

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

Analytical Engine, generally considered the first computer, designed and partly built by the English inventor Charles Babbage in the 19th century (he worked on it until his death in 1871). ... There is no evidence that anyone before Babbage had ever conceived of such a device, let alone attempted to build one.
