Which of the following statements are true? (Select 3 answers)
A parallel bus transmits data across multiple wires
In computer architecture, the term "bus" describes a system of communication paths used to connect computer components and transfer data between them
A parallel bus transmits data sequentially one bit at a time over a single communication channel
A serial bus transmits data across multiple wires
A serial bus transmits data sequentially one bit at a time over a single communications channel
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is an example of a parallel expansion bus (and a corresponding slot type) used for attaching hardware devices (in the form of an integrated circuit or expansion card) to the motherboard inside the computer case.
