    What is the main secondary storage device of a PC?

    • Hard drive

    • Floppy drive

    • CD-Rom drive

    • Monitor

    Correct Answer
    A. Hard drive
    Explanation
    The main secondary storage device of a PC is the hard drive. This is because the hard drive is used to store large amounts of data permanently, even when the computer is turned off. It offers a higher storage capacity compared to other secondary storage devices like floppy drives or CD-ROM drives. The monitor, on the other hand, is a display device and not a storage device.

    AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is the correct answer because it is a type of expansion slot specifically designed for video cards. AGP provides a faster data transfer rate between the video card and the computer's memory, allowing for improved graphics performance. PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect), ISA (Industry Standard Architecture), and EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) are also types of expansion slots, but they are not exclusively used for video cards. PCI can accommodate various types of expansion cards, while ISA and EISA are older slot types that are no longer commonly used.
