Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

A computer’s strengths are inherent capabilities that arise from electronic data processing. It can execute instructed operations very quickly, repeat them with consistent results, and preserve accuracy when the input data and instructions are correct.

Policy making is different: it requires goals, values, judgment, and accountability. A computer may analyse data for a policy, but the decision and responsibility belong to people or institutions.

Application

  1. Speed describes the ability to perform a very large number of operations in a short time.

  2. Accuracy describes producing the specified result when the data and program are correct.

  3. Reliability describes repeating operations consistently without fatigue.

  4. Policy making involves choosing objectives and rules; it is not an inherent data-processing capability of a computer.

Contrast

  • “B and D only” combines accuracy with policy making and omits speed and reliability.

  • “B, C only” includes accuracy and reliability but omits speed.

  • “B, C, D only” includes policy making and omits speed.

Result

Therefore, the complete set of computer strengths is Speed, Accuracy, and Reliability; the matching choice is “A, B, C only”.
