Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: All the listed components are principal components of a memory-tube display.
Flooding gun: provides a uniform supply of electrons that can write, refresh or restore charge patterns on the storage target.
Collector: collects excess electrons and helps maintain the stored charge distribution so the image or data can be preserved and read.
Phosphor grains (phosphor screen): emit visible light when struck by electrons, producing the observable display.
Ground (reference electrode): provides the reference potential and return path required to control electrode voltages and stabilize the stored charges.
Reason: Each listed component plays a distinct and necessary role in producing, storing, and displaying the image in a memory-tube display; therefore all the listed items are required.
