  • A.electronic computer
  • B.mechanical computer
  • C.electronic calculator
  • D.mechanical calculator

Answer: D

Correct answer: mechanical calculator

The abacus, some 5,000 years old, is a mechanical calculating aid: beads moved on rods represent the digits, and the operator performs the arithmetic. It stores no program and does nothing by itself, so it is a calculator rather than a computer - and certainly not electronic.
