The third generations of computers included ____
A
vacuum tubes
B
integrated circuits
C
artificial intelligence
D
microprocessors
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Third generation computers were computers that emerged due to the development of the integrated circuit (IC). They were the first steps toward computers as we know them today. Their main feature was the use of integrated circuits, which allowed them to be shrunk down to be as small as large toasters.

Detailed explanation-2: -Third generation computers are advance from first and second generation computers. The third generation computer was started in 1965 and ended around 1971. Third generation computers start using integrated circuits instead of transistors.

Detailed explanation-3: -The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The IC was invented by Jack Kilby. This development made computers smaller in size, reliable, and efficient.

Detailed explanation-4: -Integrated Circuit was introduced with the Third Generation of computers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Third Generation ( 1965-1980 ): Integrated Circuits and Multiprogramming. Two types of computer systems were invented during this time ( 1965-1980 ), these are a scientific calculator and a commercial calculator. Both these systems were combined in the system/360 by a company named IBM.
