A Correct answer
Explanation

IBM was originally known as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R), founded in 1911. The company was renamed to International Business Machines (IBM) in 1924 to better reflect its expanded scope beyond tabulating machines. Option D is incorrect because it uses 'Coding' instead of 'Computing' - C-T-R specifically stood for Computing, Tabulating, and Recording.
