What is hardware?

Programming instructions
Electronic equipment that resembles a machine
Computer language used to format data
A type of software

The correct answer is: Electronic equipment that resembles a machine

Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer or electronic device, such as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor. It is the tangible aspect of a computer system that you can touch and see. Programming instructions (A) are part of software, not hardware. Computer language used to format data (C) is also a type of software, not hardware. While D is a valid category, it is too broad and does not accurately describe what hardware specifically is.
