Increase number of lines for each type of bus.

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -A bus that connects major computer components (processor, memory, I/O) is called a system bus. The data lines provide a path for moving data among system modules. These lines, collectively, are called the data bus. The address lines are used to designate the source or destination of the data on the data bus.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the address bus carries the information about the device with which the CPU is communicating and the data bus carries the actual data being processed, the control bus carries commands from the CPU and returns status signals from the devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: PCI BUS is used to connect other peripheral devices that require a direct connection with the processor.
Detailed explanation-4: -The size of a bus, known as its width, is important because it determines how much data can be transmitted at one time. The bus size actually indicates the number of wires in the bus. For example, a 32-bit bus has 32 wires or connectors that transmit 32 bits simultaneously (referred to as in parallel).
