C.A database primary key only
D.An e-learning LMS password only
Explanation: The syllabus lists the communication bus with CPU, memory, and I/O organisation as the interconnect pathway.
6Serial and parallel ports differ mainly in that:
A.Serial ports send bits sequentially over fewer lines; parallel ports transfer multiple bits side-by-side over multiple lines
B.Serial ports always store databases; parallel ports only run Java
C.Parallel ports are wireless-only; serial ports are satellite-only
D.There is no difference—both terms mean the same USB hub
Explanation: Year-1 hardware lists ports (serial, parallel) as I/O connection styles with different bit-transfer patterns.
7Which device is an input device listed in the CHSE IT hardware unit?

A.Special ink characters on documents such as cheques
B.Only human fingerprints for login
C.Only laser toner levels
D.Only Wi-Fi signal strength
Explanation: Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) reads specially printed magnetic-ink characters, famously on cheques.
9Which printer type uses a matrix of pins striking an inked ribbon (impact printing)?
A.Dot-matrix printer (DMP)
B.Laser printer only
C.Inkjet/bubble-jet only
D.Plotter only
Explanation: Syllabus printers include DMP, deskjet/inkjet/bubble jet, and laser; DMP is the classic impact pin printer.
