In the input-process-output-storage model, the role of storage is primarily to retain and organize data and information for future use. Therefore, the correct answer is not explicitly listed among the options you provided (A and B), but it aligns most closely with a function that would be categorized separately.
To clarify the roles:
- A) Input data into the system refers to gathering raw data for processing.
- B) Process information involves manipulating and transforming the input data into meaningful output.
Storage, on the other hand, functions to hold data and information that can be retrieved and used later, typically between the stages of input and output. If there were an option available like "C) To store data and information for later use," that would accurately describe the role of storage in this model.
