Explanation

A (Tablet) is correct because tablets are defined by their touchscreen-primary input, compact form factor, solid-state storage (no spinning disk), and dependence on Wi-Fi or cellular for connectivity - matching every descriptor in the question exactly.

B (Laptop) is wrong because laptops typically include a physical keyboard, traditionally used hard disk drives, and are larger and heavier than tablets. C (Netbook) is wrong because netbooks are small laptops with physical keyboards and conventional storage, designed for basic computing rather than touch-based interaction. D (Portable media player) is wrong because devices like iPods are primarily for consuming audio/video and lack the general-purpose computing capabilities described.

Memory tip: Think of the word tablet - like a writing tablet or notepad, you interact with it directly by touching the surface, with no keyboard in the way.
