The correct answer is: Network Interface Card

A NIC stands for Network Interface Card. This is a hardware component that connects a computer to a network. It allows the computer to send and receive data over the network. Option B, Numerical Interface Circuit, is incorrect as it does not mention networks and is not a commonly used term. Option C, Non-Integrated Circuit, is incorrect as it is not related to networking at all. Option D, Network Integration Circuit, is also incorrect as it combines words from the correct answer but does not accurately describe what a NIC is. Therefore, the only correct answer is A, Network Interface Card.
