The Correct Option is D

A keyboard is the most widely used input device for entering both text and numerical data into a computer.
- Option (A) Plotter: An output device used for printing large-scale drawings or graphics.
- Option (B) Scanner: An input device but mainly used for digitizing images or documents, not for entering continuous text or numeric data.

Thus, $\mathbfKeyboard$ is correct.
