What are the three main components of an alarm system?

Sensor, transmitter, control panel
Battery, wires, lights
Camera, screen, recorder
Lock, key, guard

The correct answer is: Sensor, transmitter, control panel

An alarm system typically has three main components sensor, transmitter, and control panel. A sensor is used to detect changes or abnormalities, a transmitter sends a signal to the control panel, and the control panel processes the signal and activates the alarm. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the necessary components of an alarm system. A battery, wires, and lights may be involved in the functioning of an alarm system, but they are not considered main components. Similarly, while a camera, screen, and recorder may be used for surveillance purposes, they are not necessary components for an alarm system to function. Lock, key, and guard are also not relevant to an alarm system as they do not contribute to the detection and alert process.
