ABC computer is used for:

A. (A) Specific purpose computer
B. (B) General purpose computer
C. (C) Both A & B
D. (D) None of these
Correct Answer: B. (B) General purpose computer

The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) is widely recognized as one of the earliest electronic digital computing devices. While its initial purpose was to solve systems of linear equations, its architectural innovations, such as binary arithmetic and regenerative memory, laid crucial groundwork for the development of modern computers. It was not a specific-purpose computer in the sense of being limited to a single, unchangeable task like a dedicated calculator. Instead, its design principles contributed significantly to the evolution of machines capable of performing a variety of tasks through programming, making it a precursor to general-purpose computers. Distractors like "Specific purpose computer" are incorrect as ABC's influence extended beyond a singular, fixed application.
