Discussion
The I/O devices are sometimes called the peripheral devices because they surround the CPU and memory of the computer system.
Answer: A
Correct answer: True
The name is literal: peripheral means "at the edge", and these devices sit outside the processor and main memory, connected through controllers, buses and ports.
The distinction is architectural rather than physical. A hard disk inside the case is still a peripheral, because it is reached through a controller rather than being addressed directly as memory is. What defines the core is direct access by the processor; everything else surrounds it.
