Question

(a) peripheral
(b) moniter
(c) device
(d) modem​

Answer 1

Answer:

(d) modem​

Explanation:

Once you have your computer, you really don't need much additional hardware to connect to the Internet. The primary piece of hardware you need is a modem.Dial-up access uses a telephone modem, DSL service uses a DSL modem, cable access uses a cable modem, and satellite service uses a satellite adapter.

Suppose you want to connect your computer to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using an ordinary phone line. The computer at your end needs a modem to modulate its digital signals (add them on top of an analog telephone signal) so they can travel down the phone line just like the sound of your voice.
