Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

Computer hardware is classified by function: input devices capture data, output devices present processed results, memory holds working data, and a processor executes instructions. RAM is volatile main memory, while the CPU is the processor.

Application

Apply each functional definition to the four ICT terms:

ICT term

Functional role

Match

Printer

Produces a hard copy, so it is an output device.

A-III

Scanner

Captures a document or image as data, so it is an input device.

B-IV

RAM

Stores working data temporarily and loses it when power is removed, so it is volatile memory.

C-I

CPU

Fetches and executes instructions, so it is the processor.

D-II

Cross-check and contrast

The four definitions use I, II, III, and IV exactly once, giving A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.

  • A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I assigns processor to Printer and volatile memory to CPU.

  • A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III assigns volatile memory to Printer and processor to Scanner.

  • A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I assigns processor to RAM and volatile memory to CPU.

Therefore, the correct mapping is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
