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
