3. Which of the following ports is shown in Figure C?
- A.
  
  3.5 mm audio ports
- B.
  
  DVI ports
- C.
  
  RCA Stereo Audio and Composite Video

Correct Answer
C. RCA Stereo Audio and Composite Video

Explanation
The correct answer is RCA Stereo Audio and Composite Video. This can be determined by looking at Figure C and identifying the ports that match the description. The 3.5 mm audio ports are typically smaller and rounder, while DVI ports are rectangular and have more pins. USB ports have a distinct rectangular shape with a symbol indicating their function. Therefore, the only remaining option is RCA Stereo Audio and Composite Video, which typically have a red, white, and yellow color coding.

- B.
  
  Firewire port
- C.
  
  Parallel port
- D.
  
  DVI port
Correct Answer
C. Parallel port

Explanation
The correct answer is Parallel port. This is because the figure N shows a port that has a rectangular shape with multiple pins or connectors. This is characteristic of a parallel port, which is used to connect devices such as printers or scanners to a computer. The other options, optical audio port, Firewire port, and DVI port, have different shapes and purposes and do not match the appearance of the port shown in the figure.
