Which term is the result produced by a computer after processing data?

• A. Input
• B. Processing
• C. Output
• D. Storage

Answer: (C)

Output is the result produced by a computer after processing data. Data starts as input, the information fed into the system. Processing turns that input into meaningful information through calculations, transformations, or decisions. The final product you see or receive—such as on-screen results, a printed report, or a saved file—is the output. Storage, in contrast, is about keeping data for later use, not delivering the immediate result of processing.
