    • ROM

    Correct Answer
    A. Modem 
    Explanation
    A modem is a device that allows a computer to transmit and receive data over a telephone line. It converts the digital signals from the computer into analog signals that can be transmitted over the telephone line, and then converts the analog signals back into digital signals that the computer can understand. In addition to enabling communication over telephone lines, a modem also allows the computer to access the internet by connecting to an internet service provider. Therefore, a modem is the correct answer to this question.

    • Speakers and audio cards

    • Headphones and video cards

    • Audio card alone

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Speakers and audio cards
    Explanation
    Speakers and audio cards are necessary to allow sound to come from the computer. Speakers are the output device that converts electrical signals into audible sound, while audio cards, also known as sound cards, are responsible for processing and transmitting audio signals to the speakers. Without both of these components, the computer would not be able to produce sound. Headphones and video cards are not directly involved in the production of sound, and an audio card alone would not be sufficient to produce sound without the presence of speakers. Therefore, the correct answer is speakers and audio cards.

    A video card is a hardware component that is responsible for generating and outputting visual information to a display device such as a monitor. It is used to improve the quality of graphics and images on a computer screen, making it an essential part of a computer system. The other options, such as monitor card, modem, and PS2 plug-in, do not specifically refer to the component responsible for handling visual output. Therefore, the correct answer is Video Card.
