None of the options listed—microfilm, microfiche, film card, or COM—are correct in this context.
The movements of the pen on a flat-bed plotter are actually controlled by the computer through digital commands, usually via a plotter driver. The driver converts drawing instructions into motor movements that move the pen in the X and Y directions.
Here’s a quick clarification of the options:
Microfilm / Microfiche / Film card / COM → storage media or archival formats, not controllers.
Correct answer: Computer/controller via plotter driver.
