UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

A monitor presents processed information visually, enabling users to see the results of their commands and programs. It does not capture data from the environment; instead, it outputs data from the computer system. In hardware classification, such devices are called output devices. Therefore, the appropriate term for the blank is output.

Option A:
Option A, input, describes devices that feed data into the computer rather than showing results to the user, so it does not match the function of a monitor.

Option B:
Option B is correct because a monitor's primary role is to output information, and ICT textbooks consistently list it under output devices.

Option C:
Option C, storage, suggests long term retention of data, which is not the function of a screen.

Option D:
Option D, network, refers to communication components that connect computers and does not describe a display unit.
