What term describes things that attach onto the computer or extend its functional capabilities?

• A. Accessories
• B. Peripherals
• C. Extensions
• D. Modules

Answer: (A)

Think of items you add to a computer to make it more usable or capable. The term that best fits this broad idea is accessories. Accessories encompass things that attach to the computer or enhance how you use it, including both practical devices and convenience items—like a camera, external drive, or a stand. They’re not strictly about core components; they’re optional add-ons that extend what the system can do or how you interact with it.

Peripherals is a closely related idea, but it tends to focus on devices that perform input, output, or storage tasks (like keyboards, mice, printers). Extensions and modules imply more specific, modular parts rather than general add-ons. So for the overall sense of “things that attach onto the computer or extend its functional capabilities,” accessories is the most fitting term.
