This allowed a CPU to be built on a single chip, thus allowing computer engineers to design the first fourth generation computers
A
silicon chip
B
integrated circuit
C
microprocessor
D
SRAM
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of the first generation computers include ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, IBM-701, and IBM-650.

Detailed explanation-2: -In 1822, Babbage invented the Difference Engine. It was powered by steam and was as large as a locomotive. After 10 years of work, he refined his machine into a general purpose computer called the Analytical Engine. It had over 50, 000 parts.

Detailed explanation-3: -fourth generation computers integrated circuitry had advanced to very large-scale integration (VLSI). This design and manufacturing technology greatly increased the circuit density of microprocessor, memory, and support chips-i.e., those that serve to interface microprocessors with input-output devices.
