Q. Which of the following statement best describes the batch method of input?

(B) Data is input at the time it is collected
(C) Data is collected in the form of source documents, placed into groups, and then input to the computer
(D) Source documents are not used

Correct Answer - Option(C)

Explanation by: Ranjeet

Batch processing refers to processing transactions in a group or batch. No user interaction is required once batch processing is underway. While batch processing can be carried out at any time, it is particularly suited to end-ofcycle processing, such as for processing a bank's reports at the end of a day, or generating monthly or bi-weekly payrolls.
