b. This output device is not compatible.
c. She must purchase a device manufactured by the same manufacturer as her computer.
d. She must locate and install the driver for her scanner.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we connect any device to a computer system, it first installs the driver for a particular device to make it work otherwise the computer doesn't recognize the device.  

When anything which was written on a paper needs to be scan to make a digital image. To scan the document we need a scanner to be connected to the computer system with the proper driver installed.

Hence according to the scenario, the most appropriate answer is option (D).

While the other options are not valid because of the following reasons.

• The stylus is a device which is used to draw some graphic on a touchscreen device, while it can not convert the document already written on-page to digital format.

• As a scanner is an input device, there is no point of the compatibility of an output device.

• There is no compulsory system in the computer that connected devices must be from the same manufacturer.
