Correct answer: (C) microprocessor does not contain I/O devices.

Explanation

A microprocessor is a computer processor which incorporates the functions of a computer's control processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few integrated circuits. A microcomputer is small, relatively, inexpensive computer with a microprocessor as its control processing unit (CPU). It includes a microprocessor, memory, and minimal input/output (I/O) circuitry mounted on a single printed circuit board. That means, microprocessor does not contain input/output devices.
