This Easy Computer Hardware MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “What term describes the following? a hardware component that processes and outputs audio signals from a computer.”

The accepted answer is C. Sound card. Sound card is the fact required by “What term describes the following? a hardware component that processes and outputs audio signals from a computer.” (option C). Option A (“Barebone system”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Sound card. Option B (“SATA interface”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Sound card.
