The correct answer is: Keyboard

A monitor is a display device used to view the output of a computer. A printer is a peripheral device used to print documents and images. A mouse is an input device used to move the cursor and make selections on the screen. A keyboard is the most commonly used input device for entering data and commands into a computer. It has keys for letters, numbers, symbols, and function keys that are used to type and control the computer. While some computer devices may have touchscreens, voice recognition, or other alternative input methods, the keyboard remains the primary input device for most computers.
