What is the motherboard?
A
The main circuit board in system unit that contains chips, integrated circuits, and transistors
B
The secondary circuit board in system unit that contains chips, integrated circuits, and transistors
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Motherboards are the foundation of all computers. They are printed-circuit boards (housing the computer’s basic circuitry and vital components), into which other boards, or cards, are plugged. They manage all data transactions between the CPU (central processing unit) and the peripheral devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -A motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer. The motherboard is a computer’s central communications backbone connectivity point, through which all components and external peripherals connect. Motherboards can be found in virtually all computers, especially desktop and laptop PCs.

Detailed explanation-3: -As you have noticed, the motherboard contains a number of black boxes known as Integrated Circuits or ICs. These chips do most of the work in a computer and many other devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Mother Board. The motherBoard is a single integrated circuit on which a CPU is typically constructed.

Detailed explanation-5: -A motherboard (also called mainboard, main circuit board, mb, mboard, backplane board, base board, system board, logic board (only in Apple computers) or mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems.
