The correct answer is B. VGA.
VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog video interface. It transmits video signals as continuous electrical waves, which means the signal can degrade over distance or due to interference. VGA uses a 15-pin connector and is considered legacy hardware in modern systems, but it is still important for CompTIA A+ because you may encounter it in older equipment.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A. DVI
DVI can support both digital and analog signals, but in most modern contexts and exam questions, it is primarily treated as a digital interface (especially DVI-D). Since the question asks for a clearly analog cable, VGA is the best answer.
C. USB-C
USB-C is a digital interface that can carry video signals using protocols like DisplayPort Alternate Mode. It does not transmit analog video.
D. HDMI
HDMI is a fully digital interface used for high-definition video and audio transmission. It does not support analog signals.
Exam Tip (Core 1 220-1201):
Analog video = VGA
Digital video = HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C, most DVI types
Final Answer: B. VGA
