Detailed explanation-1: -Correct choice is option C, Explanation-IBM 1401 is Second Generation Computer .
Detailed explanation-2: -The 1401 is considered to be the Ford Model-T of the computer industry, because it was mass-produced and because of its sales volume. Over 12, 000 units were produced and many were leased or resold after they were replaced with newer technology. The 1401 was withdrawn on February 8, 1971.
Detailed explanation-3: -Computers have gotten a lot smaller since 1959, when IBM created the 1401 data processing system, touted as the world’s first affordable general purpose computer. But Nicolas Temese, a Montreal indie game developer and animation studio technical developer, decided to remake the 1401 in miniature mode.
