CD-RW, DVD-RW, harddisk, floppy, and even ram fits with A.
anything which makes sounds or images and goes into or can be connected to a
computer or which combines the elements into one or more boxes fits B.
C would definitely include computers in general but could be constured to
include INDIVIDUALY such items as NICs, cable, the internet itself even.
