Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Sound card and microphone.
Why these are required:
Sound card: Processes audio input from a microphone and enables the system to record audio. Without a working sound card (or equivalent audio interface), the computer cannot capture audio.
Microphone: Captures your voice for narration. You must have a connected and configured microphone to record speech.
Why the other items are not required:
Internet connection: Not needed for local recording in PowerPoint. Internet is only required for online services or cloud-based features.
Speakers: Useful for playback but not required to record narration. Recording depends on the microphone and audio input path.
External video port: Irrelevant to audio recording; it relates to video output only.
Quick tips:
Ensure the microphone is connected, enabled in your operating system, and set as the default recording device before you start PowerPoint's narration feature.
Test-record a short clip in PowerPoint to confirm levels and quality.
A USB headset or external USB microphone works fine and may simplify setup (drivers must be installed if required).
