Input is correct, but it leads to processing too.

Wait, isn't it also a bit of processing?

I practiced a question like this where input was clearly defined, so I’m leaning towards A as the right answer.

I’m a bit confused because I feel like typing could relate to output too, since you see what you’re typing on the screen.

I remember a similar question about input devices, and I think the keyboard is primarily for input. So, I’d go with A.

I think typing a document is definitely some form of input, but I’m not completely sure if it could also be considered processing.

Easy one - the user is inputting data through the keyboard, so the answer is clearly A. Input.

I'm a bit confused here. Is the keyboard considered part of the input or output process? I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the answer has to be input. The user is providing data to the system through the keyboard, so that's the correct term for this action.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Is it input, or could it be considered output since the text is being displayed on the screen?

This seems like a straightforward question. The user is typing on a keyboard, so the action being described is input.

I know I shouldn't joke on exams, but what if the user is just mashing the keyboard randomly? That would be more like 'user error' than any of these options. But I'll go with A) Input.

Hmm, I don't think this is a storage or output action. The user is actively manipulating the document, so I'm going with A) Input.

I'm not so sure about that. What if the user is just editing a pre-existing document? Wouldn't that be more like processing the information? I'm going with D) Processing.
