Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In computer architecture, a bus is:
A
the delay before the transfer of data begins following the instructions for the transfer to happen
B
a measurement of the transmission capacity of a network or system
C
a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer
D
how external ports like the back panel are connected onto the motherboard
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computer architecture, a bus (shortened form of the Latin omnibus, and historically also called data highway or databus) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers. This expression covers all related hardware components (wire, optical fiber, etc.)

Detailed explanation-2: -In computer terminology, a bus is a communication system that allows the transfer of data between components within a computer, or between separate computers. These components could be any kind of hardware components, such as wire or optical fiber, or software.

Detailed explanation-3: -A bus is a high-speed internal connection. Buses are used to send control signals and data between the processor and other components. Three types of bus are used. Address bus-carries memory addresses from the processor to other components such as primary storage and input/output devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -A data bus can transfer data to and from the memory of a computer, or into or out of the central processing unit (CPU) that acts as the device’s “engine.” A data bus can also transfer information between two computers.
