The correct answer is B. Kenneth H. Olsen.<\/p>\n

Kenneth H. Olsen was an American computer engineer and businessman who founded Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1957. DEC was one of the first companies to develop and sell minicomputers, which were smaller and less expensive than mainframe computers. Olsen is considered the “father of the minicomputer” and one of the founders of the modern computer industry.<\/p>\n

George Tate was an American computer scientist who worked on the development of the PDP-1, one of the first minicomputers. However, he is not considered to be the “father of the minicomputer”.<\/p>\n

Seymour Cray was an American electrical engineer and computer architect who is best known for designing the Cray-1 supercomputer. He is not considered to be the “father of the minicomputer”.<\/p>\n

Basic Pascal is a programming language that was developed by Niklaus Wirth in the early 1970s. It is not considered to be the “father of the minicomputer”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
