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. ... Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding.

The analytical engine is a machine, first proposed by Charles Babbage in 1837, that is considered to be the concept for the first general mechanical computer. The design featured an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and permitted basic programmatic flow control.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed two classes of engine, Difference Engines, and Analytical Engines. Difference engines are so called because of the mathematical principle on which they are based, namely, the method of finite differences.

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).
