C Correct answer
Explanation

Supercomputers are the largest and most powerful computers designed for complex calculations. Mainframes are large-scale servers for enterprise applications. Minicomputers are mid-range systems smaller than mainframes. Microcomputers (personal computers) are the smallest. This hierarchy reflects both physical size and computational capacity, from largest to smallest.
