Which port can transmit multiple bits over several wires at a time?
Correct answer: A. Parallel port
- A. Parallel port
- B. Serial port
- C. RAM
- D. ROM
Explanation
A parallel port is a type of computer port that can transmit multiple bits of data simultaneously over separate wires. This allows for faster data transfer compared to serial ports, which transmit data one bit at a time. Parallel ports were commonly used for connecting printers to computers, but they have largely been replaced by USB ports
