Input and output peripherals form the fundamental hardware components of computer architecture, governed by the classic Von Neumann model widely tested in Indian competitive exams.
A scanner reads physical documents or photos and translates them into a digital file format.
Monitors and speakers function as output devices by presenting processed data visually or audibly.
Printers render soft copy data onto physical paper, categorizing them strictly as output devices.
Option A (Monitor) is a primary soft-copy output device used for displaying user interfaces and graphics.
Option B (Printer) is an output device that produces hard copies of text and images.
Option D (Speaker) is an output device that converts digital audio signals into audible sound waves.
C is correct тАФ A scanner is an input device used to convert physical media into digital inputs.
Questions on computer hardware frequently test classifications of peripherals; ensure you can clearly distinguish between input devices (keyboard, mouse, scanner) and output devices (monitor, printer, projector).
