Which type of screen relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect where a display was tapped?
A
Resistive Touchscreen
B
Capacitive Touchscreen
C
SAW
D
Infrared
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Capacitive touch screens are control displays that utilise the electrical properties of the human body as input. When a finger (or specialised input device, such as stylus) comes in contact with the display it detects when and where on the display the user touches it.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of capacitive touchscreens; surface capacitive and projected capacitive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Capacitive screens are made up of multiple layers of glass and plastic, coated with a conductor material like indium tin oxide or copper. This conductive material responds when contacted by another electrical conductor, like your bare finger.

Detailed explanation-4: -Touchscreens work using electricity. The screen is made of glass, an insulating material – it cannot carry an electric current. The surface of the screen is therefore coated with a thin layer of an electrically conducting material such as indium tin oxide. This is chosen because it is transparent.
