Question

which of the following statements is true?
an input device sends information to the computer and an output device receives information from the computer.
an input device receives information from the computer and an output device receives information from the computer.
an input device sends information to the computer and an output device sends information to the computer.
an input device receives information from the computer and an output device sends information to the computer.

Explanation:

To determine the true statement, we analyze the definitions of input and output devices:

• Input devices (e.g., keyboard, mouse) send data/information to the computer for processing.
• Output devices (e.g., monitor, printer) receive processed information from the computer and present it.

Now we evaluate each option:

• First option: "An input device sends information to the computer and an output device receives information from the computer." This matches the definitions.
• Second option: Claims input devices receive from the computer (incorrect) and output devices also receive (incorrect).
• Third option: Claims output devices send to the computer (incorrect; they receive from it).
• Fourth option: Claims input devices receive from the computer (incorrect) and output devices send (incorrect).

Answer:

A. An input device sends information to the computer and an output device receives information from the computer.
