Which one of the following is sometimes called the brain of the computer?

A. Keyboard
B. Central Processing Unit
C. Monitor
D. Printer

B. Central Processing Unit

The correct answer is B. Central Processing Unit. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is sometimes called the brain of the computer because it performs the majority of the processing inside the computer. It is responsible for executing instructions, performing calculations, and managing data between different parts of the computer. The keyboard, monitor, and printer are peripherals that interact with the CPU but do not perform the same level of processing.
