What does GPIO stand for?
A
General Purpose Inner Outer Propeller
B
General Purpose Input Output Pins
C
Generally Powered Input Output Pins
D
General Purpose Input Output Processor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A general-purpose input/output (GPIO) is an uncommitted digital signal pin on an integrated circuit or electronic circuit (e.g. MCUs/MPUs) board which may be used as an input or output, or both, and is controllable by software.

Detailed explanation-2: -This chapter discusses the interfaces and classes for reading from and writing to the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins and ports of the embedded device board. A GPIO pin is a generic pin whose value consists of one of two voltage settings (high or low) and whose behavior can be programmed through software.

Detailed explanation-3: -Any of the GPIO pins can be designated (in software) as an input or output pin and used for a wide range of purposes; whether it is turning on an LED, driving a motor, or sending data to another device, the possibilities are almost endless.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gpio namespace to allow apps to set, read, and react to state changes in the General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins on a Windows IoT (Internet of Things) device.

Detailed explanation-5: -The GPIO pins allow the Raspberry Pi to control and monitor the outside world by being connected to electronic circuits. The Pi is able to control LEDs, turning them on or off, run motors, and many other things.
