How many pins does the IEEE 1394a connector have?

4 pins
6 pins
8 pins
9 pins

The correct answer is: 6 pins

This is because the IEEE 1394a connector, also known as FireWire, has a 6-pin configuration. Option A, 4 pins, is incorrect because it is not enough to support the high-speed data transfer of FireWire. Option C, 8 pins, is incorrect because it is referencing the newer version, IEEE 1394b, which has 8 pins. Option D, 9 pins, is incorrect because it is referencing the USB Type-C connector, which has 9 pins. Therefore, the correct answer is B with 6 pins.
