Correct Answer - Option 4 : Integrated circuits
The correct answer is Integrated circuits.
Third Generation (1964-1977):
- This generation was introduced by the development of a small chip consisting of the capacity of the 300 transistors
- These Integrated Circuits (IC)s are popularly known as Chips.
- So it is quite obvious that the size of the computer got further reduced
- Some of the computers developed during this period were IBM-360, ICL-1900, IBM-370, and VAX-750
-
Higher-level language such as BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was developed during this period
