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
