Detailed explanation-1: -Option B Solution: The microprocessor brought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fourth Generation of computers was between 1971 – 1980. These computers used the VLSI technology or the Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits technology. Therefore they were also known as the microprocessors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Third Generation Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Around 1971 and 1980, the fourth generation of computers were introduced. These computers were outfitted with the most up-to-date VLSI circuit technology. ANS. Intel unveiled the 4004, the world’s largest initial single-chip microprocessor, on a single MOS LSI chip, on November 15, 1971.
Detailed explanation-5: -The period of fourth generation was from 1971-1980. Computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements with their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation.
