What is the primary purpose of PCI?

  1. To provide wireless connectivity

  2. Peripheral Component Interconnect

  3. Power CPU Internally

  4. Provide cloud integration

The correct answer is: Peripheral Component Interconnect

PCI stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect. It is a type of computer bus used for connecting peripherals to a motherboard, allowing them to communicate with the computer's CPU and other components. This includes devices such as graphics cards, sound cards, and network cards. The other options, while related to technology and computing, do not accurately describe the primary purpose of PCI. Option A refers to Wi-Fi technology, option C is not a commonly used term in the computer industry, and option D describes a cloud computing service rather than a hardware component. Therefore, the primary purpose of PCI is to provide a standardized and efficient method for peripherals to connect to a computer's motherboard.
