  • Option : B
  • Explanation : A vacuum tube computer, now termed a first- generation computer, is a computer which uses vacuum tubes for logic circuitry. A second generation computer which is also called transistor computer is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The computers of third generation used Integrated Circuits (ICs) in place of transistors. A single IC has many transistors, resistors, and capacitors along with the associated circuitry. The period of fourth generation was from 1971-1980. Computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits have about 5000 transistors.
