- B.
  
  System Clock
- C.
  
  RAM
- D.
  
  ROM
Correct Answer
B. System Clock

Explanation
The system clock is responsible for synchronizing and controlling the timing of all computer operations. It ensures that all components of the computer are working together at the correct speed and in a coordinated manner. The system clock generates regular electronic pulses that regulate the timing of various processes, such as fetching and executing instructions, accessing memory, and transferring data. Without the system clock, the computer would not be able to function properly and execute tasks in a synchronized and orderly manner.
