What is a computer?

  1. A tool

  2. A stationary object

  3. A machine that rapidly performs calculations and manipulations of data

  4. An electronic device

The correct answer is: A machine that rapidly performs calculations and manipulations of data

While a computer can be considered a tool, a stationary object, or an electronic device, those options do not fully encompass the capabilities of a computer. A computer goes beyond these definitions and is specifically designed to perform various tasks, such as calculations and data manipulations, at a fast pace. This is why option C is the most accurate choice.
