Correct answer: (B) An electronic device that can store, retrieve and quickly process both quantitative and qualitative data accurately — The full definition covers both quantitative and qualitative data, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The full definition covers both quantitative and qualitative data, so that is the answer.
★A computer is an electronic device, not just a plain machine.
★It can store, retrieve and quickly process data with accuracy.
★It handles both quantitative and qualitative data.
★So the complete definition names both kinds of data.
★Definitions limited to only one kind are partial, so the answer is the one covering both.
