CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 88

Which of the following computer components allows for communication over a computer network?

Answer options

• A. RAM
• B. NIC
• C. CPU
• D. NAS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The NIC, or Network Interface Card, is specifically designed to enable devices to connect and communicate over a network. RAM, CPU, and NAS serve different functions; RAM is for temporary data storage, the CPU processes instructions, and NAS is a storage solution that can be accessed over a network but does not directly handle communication.
