Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
OSC1&OSC2 PINS ARE USED FOR
A
CONNECTING EXTERNAL CRYSTAL
B
CONNECTING EXTERNAL INTERRUPT
C
CONNECTING EXTERNAL RESET
D
CONNECTING COUNTER INPUT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -OSC1 & OSC2 are the main oscillator inputs. T1OSO & T1OSI are intended for implementing an independant oscillator for TIMER1. Section 2.6 in the datasheet shows that you can use the TIMER1 oscillator as a clock input, by setting the SCS bit in the OSCCON register.

Detailed explanation-2: -The external crystal resonator is connected across the EXTAL and XTAL pins of the MCU.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oscillators are responsible for supplying the clock signals in microcontrollers. All the instructions executed by microcontrollers are in synchronization with clock signals. The timing for different operations in a microcontroller is assigned with the help of oscillators.

Detailed explanation-4: -In an oscillator circuit the crystal is mechanically vibrating on its resonance frequency fOSC, and provides a stable reference oscillation signal to the microcontroller and is used as input reference clock.
