Correct answer & explanation
✓
Mouse
A mouse is an input device because it captures physical movement and button clicks, converting them into digital signals that the computer interprets to control the cursor or execute commands. It sends data to the system rather than receiving or outputting information, which is the defining characteristic of an input device.
