C
1959-1964
D
1965-1972
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The period of third generation was from 1965-1971. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The period of third generation was 1965-1971. The computers of third generation used integrated circuits (IC’s) 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The period of second generation was from 1959-1965. In this generation, transistors were used that were cheaper, consumed less power, more compact in size, more reliable and faster than the first generation machines made of vacuum tubes.
