A
LGA
B
ZIF
C
PGA
D
a lot
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Zero insertion force-Wikipedia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pin Grid Array (PGA)-(Figure 1) In PGA architecture, the pins are on the underside of the processor package and is inserted into the motherboard CPU socket using zero insertion force (ZIF). ZIF refers to the amount of force needed to install a CPU into the motherboard socket or slot.

Detailed explanation-3: -A zero insertion force (ZIF) socket is a type of integrated circuit (IC) socket which is designed so that it requires no force at all, except gravity, to insert an IC into the socket.

Detailed explanation-4: -Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) is a class of IC sockets which clamp the IC pins (via a small lever on the side of the socket) after insertion, and thus require no downward force on the IC or its pins to insert it into the socket.

Detailed explanation-5: -Short for zero insertion force socket, the ZIF socket was designed by Intel and included a small lever to insert and remove the computer processor. Using the lever, lets you add and remove a computer processor without any tools and requires no force (zero force).
