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 items bit is odd or even. When the parity bit disagrees with the sum of the other bits, an error report is generated.
