Which term describes devices that present results stored in memory to the outside world (e.g., printers, screen monitors)?

• A. Input Devices
• B. Storage Devices
• C. Network Interfaces
• D. Output Devices

Answer: (D)

Output devices are devices that take information stored in memory and present it to the outside world. They turn digital data into something you can see or hear, such as the text or images on a screen or a printed page from a printer. The data comes from the computer’s memory, is sent to the peripheral, and is converted into a human-perceptible form. This differs from input devices, which bring information into the computer (like keyboards and mice), and from storage devices, which save data for later use rather than presenting it. Network interfaces enable communication with other systems over a network, not directly displaying results to you.
