    A. A NIC
    Explanation
    A NIC (Network Interface Card) is installed on a computer to act as the interface between the computer and the network. It allows the computer to connect to a network, sending and receiving data packets. The NIC converts the data from the computer into a format that can be transmitted over the network, and vice versa. It also handles the communication protocols required for network connectivity. Ethernet and transceiver are components related to network connectivity, but they are not specifically responsible for acting as the interface between the computer and the network. Coaxial cable is a type of cable used for network connections, but it is not the component that acts as the interface.

    • MAC address

    • IEEE address

    • OUI address

    • SAS address

    Correct Answer
    A. MAC address
    Explanation
    A network interface card (NIC) provides a unique identification number known as a MAC address to a personal computer. MAC stands for Media Access Control, and it is a hardware address assigned to the NIC by the manufacturer. The MAC address is used to identify the NIC on a network and is essential for communication between devices. It consists of six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons or hyphens. The MAC address ensures that each device on a network has a distinct identifier, allowing for efficient and accurate data transmission.
