Answer:

Using transistors instead of vacuum tubes in the second-generation computers drastically reduced  the size  of the computer size.

Explanation:

  • Transistors were smaller when compared to vacuum tubes so computers with vacuum tubes were small in size .
  • They were also faster in speed, and cheaper to build.
  • These computers also operates at lower temperature and produces less heat.
  • In 1956, TX-0 was the first computer to build with transistors.
  • Varieties of transistors under a single unit called Integrated Circuit Chip or ICs.  
  • Increase in Memory size, increasing processing speed are the major achievements of ICs.

Answer:

the answer is A.

Explanation:

A. Computers were drastically reduced in size.
