D
None these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computers and digital computers. The digital component normally serves as the controller and provides logical and numerical operations, while the analog component often serves as a solver of differential equations and other mathematically complex problems.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hybrid computer is a mix of digital and analog computers that incorporates the best aspects of both. i.e. Analog computers handle complex mathematical computations (problems), and Digital computers handle logical and numerical operations.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of analog computers include analog clock, analog energy meter, analog speedometer, thermometer, etc. Examples of digital computers include laptop, digital camera, digital watches, smartphones, PDAs, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hybrid Computer – Computers that exhibit features of both Analog and Digital computers are called Hybrid Computers. The logical operations are solved by the digital aspects and the differential equations are solved using the analog features.

Detailed explanation-5: -Large Electronic Hybrid Computer. General-Purpose Hybrid Computers. Special-Purpose Hybrid Computers.
