4.Tablet

A4, 2, 1, 3

B1, 2, 4, 3

C4, 2, 3, 1 ✓ Correct

D2, 1, 4, 3

Correct answer: (C) 4, 2, 3, 1

Explanation

Arranging by physical size from smallest to largest gives the tablet first and the mini computer last.

The tablet is the smallest, a slim handheld touchscreen device.

The notebook computer comes next, a portable laptop larger than a tablet.

The desktop computer is larger still, a stationary machine with separate components.

The mini computer is the largest here, a mid-range multi-user system bigger than a desktop.

The correct ascending order of size is therefore tablet, notebook, desktop, mini computer.

Mini computers historically sat between microcomputers and large mainframes.
