Cheaper
B
Generated a lot of heat
C
Much More reliable
D
Smaller
E
Very Large
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: The ENIAC was built using approximately 20, 000 vacuum tubes, combined with about 10, 000 capacitors and 70, 000 resistors. A large room was needed to properly place it. The weight of this first generation computer was measured at over 30 tons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of the first generation computers include ENIAC, EDVAC, UNIVAC, IBM-701, and IBM-650. These computers were large and very unreliable. They would heat up and frequently shut down and could only be used for very basic computations.

Detailed explanation-3: -integrated circuits …to be referred to as large-scale integration chips, and computers using them are sometimes called fourth-generation computers. The invention of the microprocessor was the culmination of this trend.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first generation of computers was heavy in weight as about 30 tones and was very large in size. They consumed high energy. As they used thousands of vacuum tubes through which they heated very soon.
