Which of the following is typically considered an output device in ladder logic?

In ladder logic, outputs are devices the PLC drives to perform an action or indicate status. A lamp is an output device because it lights up when the PLC energizes the corresponding output coil, showing a condition on the rung. The pushbutton, proximity sensor, and pressure switch are typically input devices that provide signals to the PLC, not something the PLC drives to perform an action. So the lamp is the typical output device.
