A hardware control that helps to detect errors when data are communicated from one computer to another is
known as a:

A.
duplicate check.

B.
table lookup.

C.
validity check.

D.
parity check.

Explanation:
A parity check will help to detect data errors when data are read from memory or communicated from one
computer to another. A one-bit digit (either 0 or 1) is added to a data item to indicate whether the sum of that
data item’s bit is odd or even. When the parity bit disagrees with the sum of the other bits, an error report is
generated.
Incorrect answers:
Choices A, B and C are types of data validation and editing controls.
