The correct answer is

Keyboard

Input devices are used to send data and instructions into a computer system, while output devices convey processed information out to the user.

A keyboard, however, allows the user to type characters and commands, sending data and instructions to the computer system, making it an input device.

Hence, the keyboard is the example of an input device among the given options.
