    A. Parity Bit
    Explanation
    A parity bit is a simple error detecting code that is commonly used in data communication. It is a single bit added to a binary code to ensure that the total number of 1s in the code is either even or odd. The receiver can then check the parity bit to detect if any errors occurred during transmission. If the number of 1s is different from what the parity bit indicates, an error is detected. Therefore, the parity bit is a very simple example of an error detecting code.

    What is the main goal of buffers?

    • Move Data

    • Send data through the CPU for higher performance

    • Temporarily hold data used by some types of hardware

    • Detect and Fix errors

    Correct Answer
    A. Temporarily hold data used by some types of hardware
    Explanation
    The main goal of buffers is to temporarily hold data used by some types of hardware. Buffers act as a temporary storage area that allows for smoother data flow between different components of a system. By temporarily holding data, buffers can help prevent data loss or corruption when there is a difference in the speed at which data is produced and consumed. This ensures that data is available when needed and can be processed at a consistent rate, improving overall system performance.
