B2, 4, 5 only ✓ Correct
C1, 3, 4 only
D1, 3, 4, 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 2, 4, 5 only
Explanation
Joystick, touch pad and microphone each only feed data into the computer, placing Statement 2, Statement 4 and Statement 5 in the input group.
Statement 2, a joystick, sends direction and movement signals for games and controls.
Statement 4, a touch pad, senses finger movement to move the pointer.
Statement 5, a microphone, captures sound and turns it into a signal.
Statement 1, a DVD-R, is a storage medium that both reads and writes, and Statement 3, a plotter, is an output device.
A pure input device only supplies data, never displaying results itself.
