Which of the following is required when more than one person uses a central computer at the same time?
ATerminal ✓ Correct
BLight pen
CDigitizer
DMouse
Correct answer: (A) Terminal
Explanation
When many people share one central computer at once, each needs a terminal to reach it.
A light pen is a pointing input device, not a shared access station.
A digitizer captures drawings, not multi user access.
A mouse is a single pointing device, not what allows sharing.
A terminal offers a screen and keyboard linked to the central machine.
Add-on: terminals without their own processing power are called dumb terminals.
