• C. It consumed a lot of electricity.
• D. Valves were used in its construction.

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C It consumed a lot of electricity.
D Valves were used in its construction.

The ENIAC computer was made between 1946 and 1959 and was said to be ‘first-generation computers’. Valves were used in its construction. These valves were large in size and consumed a lot of electricity. A large amount of heat is generated, and computers would shut down many times.
