    Which of the following is not considered a basic element of the data processing cycle?

    • Output

    • Storage

    • Input

    • Control unit

    Correct Answer
    A. Control unit
    Explanation
    The control unit is not considered a basic element of the data processing cycle because it is responsible for coordinating and controlling the activities of the other elements (input, storage, and output) rather than being directly involved in processing data. The control unit manages the flow of instructions and data between the different components of a computer system, ensuring that tasks are executed in the correct order and that data is properly transferred and processed. Therefore, while essential for the functioning of a computer system, the control unit is not considered a fundamental element of the data processing cycle itself.
