Tick the one you feel is closest to your level

When a computer receives data from an input device (e.g., keyboard), the data goes through an intermediate stage before it's sent to an output device (e.g., monitor). A processing device is any device in a computer that handles the intermediate stage of processing the incoming data.

Some of the most common processing devices in a computer include the following:

• Central processing unit (CPU)
• Graphics processing unit (GPU)
• Motherboard
• Network card
• Sound card
