Options
A To input data into the computer
B To store data permanently
C To produce a hard copy of results on paper
Correct Answer
D To display temporary results on a screen
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A printer is an output device used to produce a physical or 'hard' copy of the results of data processing. Input devices send data, storage devices save data, and a monitor displays output temporarily on a screen.

Hint

Think about the physical output that a printer creates, unlike the on-screen output of a monitor.
