Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To extend the connectivity of the processor bus, a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus is used.
Why PCI bus?
It acts as an expansion bus
Connects processor to:
Peripheral devices
I/O controllers
Provides high-speed communication
Helps overcome limitations of direct processor bus connections
Hence, PCI bus is used to extend processor bus connectivity
