The ____ keyboard was invented precisely to improve the writing speed in addition to minimizing errors &movement of the fingers to lessen injuries on hands or fingers.
A
QWERTY
B
YUIOP
C
RASKI
D
DVORAK
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Dvorak keyboard is an ergonomic keyboard layout. It is designed to increase typing speed compared to the QWERTY keyboard layout. The keyboard layout was patented by Dr. August Dvorak and his brother-in-law, Dr.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dvorak is not proven to be faster – the highest recorded speed on QWERTY is 227 WPM, while the highest recorded speed on Dvorak is 194 WPM. However, there are many more people who have practiced QWERTY for their whole lives than Dvorak. Perhaps if more people used Dvorak there would be a fastest Dvorak typist.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dvorak was designed with the belief that it would significantly increase typing speeds with respect to the QWERTY layout by alleviating some of its perceived shortcomings, such as: Many common letter combinations require awkward finger motions. Some common letter combinations are typed with the same finger.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because the Dvorak layout is not widely used, the sample size of typists to use it is too small to make a true determination of the layout is intrinsically faster than the QWERTY layout, but there is early evidence that shows that it Dvorak (and Colemak) typists tend to be more accurate.
