Scientific method use of computer to store, retrieve and transmit information is called :

  • A.Data storage
  • B.Machine data
  • C.Information technology
  • D.Communication technology

Answer: C

It is called information technology.

Information technology is the use of computers, together with networks and other equipment, to store, retrieve, transmit and process information. The stem lists exactly those three functions, which together make up the usual textbook definition of IT.

Data storage covers only one of the three functions. Communication technology covers the transmitting part without the storing and retrieving. 'Machine data' is information generated automatically by machines, such as logs, and is not the name of a field. Only information technology covers all three.
