Answer: Option D. -> keyboard
The pointing device is a hardware component that allows a user to control the movements of the cursor or pointer on a computer monitor. It is used to interact with the graphical user interface (GUI) of an operating system. The most common pointing devices include the mouse, touchpad, trackball, joystick, and stylus.

Mouse: A mouse is a small input device that is used to control the cursor on a computer screen. It is a pointing device that is used to control the movements of the cursor or pointer on a computer monitor.

Pen input: Pen input is a pointing device that allows a user to input data or commands into a computer by writing on a special pad or stylus.

Trackball: A trackball is a pointing device that is used to control the cursor on a computer screen. It is a stationary device, which is used to control the movements of the cursor or pointer on a computer monitor.

Joystick: A joystick is a pointing device that is used to control the cursor on a computer screen. It is a handheld device, which is used to control the movements of the cursor or pointer on a computer monitor.

Stylus: A stylus is a pointing device that is used to input data or commands into a computer by writing on a special pad.

Keyboard: A keyboard is an input device that is used to type text and numbers into a computer. It is not considered a pointing device as it is used to input data into a computer and not to control the movements of the cursor or pointer on a computer monitor.

Therefore, keyboard is the correct answer as it is not a pointing device.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Arrow keys
The arrow keys are used to move the cursor or pointer on the screen. The four arrow keys are located in the bottom right corner of the keyboard and are labeled with arrows pointing up, down, left, and right. They are used to move the cursor in the direction of the arrow that is pressed.

  • Backspace: This key is used to delete the character to the left of the cursor.
  • Alt: This key is used in combination with other keys to perform various functions such as opening a menu or executing a command.
  • Enter: This key is used to confirm or execute a command, or to start a new line in a text document.
  • Ctrl: This key is used in combination with other keys to perform various functions such as copying, cutting, and pasting text.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, arrow keys.
