The component used to connect processors with input and output devices is:
Correct answer: C. Bus interconnection
- A. Control unit
- B. RAM (Random Access Memory)
- C. Bus interconnection
- D. ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)
Explanation
This is the correct answer. A bus interconnection is a group of electrical wires and pathways that enables data transfer between various components of a computer system, including the processor, memory, and input/output (I/O) devices. It acts as a communication highway that allows all these components to exchange information. In essence, a bus interconnection serves as the central communication channel for the entire computer system, facilitating data exchange between the processor and various internal and external devices. The other options (control unit, RAM, ALU) are essential processing units within the CPU but are not designed for external device connectivity.
