(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.
