    Question

    Identify the correct sequence of the following technologies A-D used in first generation to fourth generation of computers.
    A. Integrated circuits
    B. Microprocessors
    C. Transistors
    D. Vacuum Tubes
    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A.

    D, C, B, A

    B.

    D, C, A, B

    C.

    C, D, A, B

    D.

    B, A, C, D

    Correct option is B

    First Generation: Vacuum Tubes
    Vacuum tubes were the primary electronic components used in the earliest computers. They were large, fragile, and consumed a lot of power. Computers built using vacuum tubes were bulky, slow, and unreliable.
    Second Generation: Transistors
    Transistors replaced vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. Transistors were smaller, more reliable, and consumed less power compared to vacuum tubes. This led to the development of smaller and more efficient computers.
    Third Generation: Integrated Circuits (ICs)
    Integrated circuits, also known as microchips or ICs, were introduced in the third generation of computers. ICs integrated multiple transistors and other electronic components onto a single silicon chip, drastically reducing the size and cost of computers while improving performance and reliability.
    Fourth Generation: Microprocessors
    Microprocessors marked the beginning of the fourth generation of computers. A microprocessor is a single integrated circuit that contains the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. It combines the functions of multiple discrete components into a single chip, making computers even smaller, faster, and more powerful.
    Therefore, the correct answer is option (b) D, C, A, B.
