Question

section 1: what is a peripheral device? *
○ software that gives a computer additional functions
○ hardware that connects to the inside of a computer that gives a computer additional functions
○ hardware that connects to the outside of a computer that gives a computer additional functions
○ hardware that connects to either the inside or outside of a computer that gives a computer additional functions

Explanation:

A peripheral device is hardware (not software) that connects to a computer (either inside or outside) to add functions. The first option is wrong (software), the second and third are too limited (only inside or only outside), while the fourth correctly states it can connect to either and is hardware that adds functions.

Answer:

D. Hardware that connects to either the inside or outside of a computer that gives a computer additional functions (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D in order; if labels differ, adjust but the text is "Hardware that connects to either the inside or outside of a computer that gives a computer additional functions")
