which of the following statements is true?
○ an input device receives information from the computer and an output device sends information to the computer.
○ an output device receives information from the computer and an input device sends information to the computer.
○ neither statement is true.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze the functions of input and output devices:

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

The first option incorrectly swaps their functions. The second option correctly describes the roles: output devices receive from the computer, input devices send to the computer. The third option is incorrect as the second statement is true.

Answer:

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