Regarding a VDU, which of the following statements is more correct?

AIt is an output device

BIt is an input device

CIt is a peripheral device ✓ Correct

DIt is a hardware item

Correct answer: (C) It is a peripheral device

Explanation

A VDU is best described as a peripheral device, since it connects to and works with the main computer.

Calling it only an output device is narrower, as a terminal VDU can also involve input.

Calling it an input device is wrong, since its main job is to display output.

Calling it a hardware item is true but too vague to be the more correct choice.

Peripheral covers any unit attached around the central processing unit.

A VDU, commonly a monitor, presents text and images on a screen.
