How does clock speed affect computer performance?
A
The higher the clock speed the slower the computer will run.
B
It improves the amount you can store on the computer.
C
The higher the clock speed the better the performance.
D
It will make loading program slower
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A computer’s processor clock speed determines how quickly the central processing unit (CPU) can retrieve and interpret instructions. This helps your computer complete more tasks by getting them done faster. Clock speeds are measured in gigahertz (GHz), with a higher number equating to higher clock speed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clock speed is measured in GHz (gigahertz), a higher number means a faster clock speed. To run your apps, your CPU must continually complete calculations, if you have a higher clock speed, you can compute these calculations quicker and applications will run faster and smoother as a result of this.

Detailed explanation-3: -A PC’s clock speed is an indicator of its performance and how rapidly a CPU can process data (move individual bits). A higher frequency (bigger number) suggests better performance in common tasks, such as gaming.

Detailed explanation-4: -The biggest factor in your computer’s performance is the hard disk speed. How fast the hard drive can find (average seek time), read, write, and transfer data will make a big difference in the way your computer performs.

Detailed explanation-5: -A clock speed is the speed of a computer processor. It is measured in cycles per second. The CPU requires a fixed number of clock cycles, to execute each instruction; the faster the clock speed, the faster the CPU can execute instructions.
