Explanation by: Admin

John von Neumann proposed the concept of the stored-program architecture, where program instructions and data are stored in the same memory.

  • This concept is the foundation of most modern computers and is known as the von Neumann architecture.

Other options:

  • (B) Charles Babbage – Known as the "Father of the Computer" but did not propose the stored-program idea.
  • (C) Howard Aiken – Designed the Harvard Mark I, but it was not a stored-program computer.
  • (D) Basic Pascal – Not a person; seems to confuse the BASIC and Pascal programming languages.

So, the correct answer is John von Neumann.
