Option: b) are examples of aids to manual calculating.

Explanation:

The tablets, abacuses, and manual tables were considered to use in the early period for manual calculating. Tablets from the Babylonians period and Rome became famously known for hand-abacus. Abacuses which we know today came into existence in China, a device to count larger numbers which were not possible with ten fingers in the early times.
