A digital computer consists of three main components: store, executive unit, and control. The store refers to the memory of the computer where data and instructions are stored.

The control unit manages the flow of data and instructions between the store and the executive unit, ensuring that the correct instructions are executed in the proper sequence. These three components work together to enable the functioning of a digital computer.

Which of these is an example of a cyborg?
- A dog
- A robot
- A girl with a mechanical leg
- An alien
Correct Answer

A. A girl with a mechanical leg

Explanation

A cyborg, short for "cybernetic organism," refers to a being that combines both biological and artificial components. In this case, a girl with a mechanical leg fits the definition of a cyborg as she has a biological body (the girl) combined with an artificial component (the mechanical leg). The other options, such as a dog, a robot, and an alien, do not involve the integration of artificial components with a biological entity.
