Which of the following is an application of capacitive touch screens?

Capacitive touch screens are commonly used in mobile phones due to their sensitivity and ability to detect touch input through the electrical properties of the human finger. This technology allows for multi-touch gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom, enabling a smooth and interactive user experience. Mobile devices benefit from this technology because it allows for a sleek design without the need for physical buttons.

While other devices such as ATMs, control panels, and monitors may use different types of touch technology, such as resistive touch screens which require pressure to register a touch, capacitive screens are specifically favored in smartphones for their accuracy, response time, and the ability to support complex gestures.
