Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The correct option is A (Fourth generation computers). Fourth-generation computers introduced microprocessors, which integrated thousands of integrated circuits onto a single silicon chip (VLSI technology). In contrast, first-generation used vacuum tubes, second-generation used transistors, and third-generation used standard integrated circuits (ICs).
