Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution: Match each term in List–I with its correct nature/use from List–II, with a brief justification.

  • USB — Connects peripherals in which data is transmitted serially. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface for connecting devices and transferring data serially between the computer and peripherals.

  • GUI — Enables the user to access programs using image objects linked to those programs. A graphical user interface uses windows, icons and menus so users can interact with software visually.

  • GIF — A file format used for compressed image files. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) stores compressed images and supports simple animations.

  • OCR — Software that converts scanned text into ASCII-coded or editable text. Optical character recognition analyzes images of text and outputs machine-editable characters.

Final matching:

  • USB → Connects peripherals in which data is transmitted serially.

  • GUI → Enables user to access programs through image objects linked to the programs.

  • GIF → A file format used for compressed image files.

  • OCR → Software that converts scanned text into ASCII-coded or editable text.
