Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

In computer architecture, a 'bus' is the correct term for a set of electrical wires or communication lines used to connect internal components of a computer system. These buses facilitate the transfer of data, addresses, and control signals between the CPU, memory, and other hardware modules. A typical system bus is functionally divided into three parts: the data bus, which carries the actual information; the address bus, which specifies where the data is being sent; and the control bus, which manages the timing and synchronization of these transfers. While ports provide external connections for peripheral devices, and hubs or routers are networking devices used to manage traffic between different computers or network segments, the bus serves as the primary internal highway for communication within the motherboard.
