D) Supercomputers are focused to execute as programs as possible while mainframe uses its power to execute few programs as fast as possible.
E) Mainframe computer is much larger than super computer.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] A supercomputer is a powerful computer which is used for processing data at fastest possible speed.
