If you were thinking about a washing machine as a system which of the following represents the inputs?
a. the dirty clothes, water, and detergent
b. the clean clothes
c. the wash and rinse cycle
d. the light indicated that the washer is off balance and has stopped

The answer is a, the dirty cloths, water and detergent.

Explanation:

The answer is the above selected because the inputs basically represent the data that are passed through the system to generate the output.

In this case, the inputs are the aforementioned in the answer while the possible output would literally be the clean cloths.

Student B  has steps in correct order.

Student A has steps in the incorrect order

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the steps of construct a line parallel to a given line from a given point.

- From the figure:

- Given Line AB and point C ∉ to line AB

Steps:

- Draw line BC

- Put the pin on the compass at point B and draw an arc intersects AB and BC at  points D,E

- Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass at point C and draw an arc intersects BC at point F

- Measure the distance between points D and E by the compass and place the pin of the compass at point F and draw an arc with the same distance of DE to cut the arc created from line BC at point C and label the point of intersection of the two arcs by G

- Join the points C and G by l line which is parallel to line AB

Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
