What does the Thunderbolt connector combine into a single connection?

  1. USB and Ethernet

  2. HDMI and USB

  3. PCIe and DisplayPort

  4. DVI and VGA

The correct answer is: PCIe and DisplayPort

The Thunderbolt connector combines PCIe and DisplayPort into a single connection. PCIe is a type of connection used for high-speed communication between computer components, such as graphics cards and networking cards. DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard used to connect a video source to a display device, such as a monitor or TV. This combination allows for faster data transfer and higher quality display output. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent what the Thunderbolt connector combines. A USB and Ethernet are commonly used for data transfer and networking, but they do not offer the same speed and performance as PCIe and DisplayPort. B: HDMI and USB are also commonly used for display and data transfer, but again, they do not have the same capabilities as PCIe and DisplayPort. D: DVI and VGA are both display standards, but they do not offer the same functionality as DisplayPort. Therefore, C is the best option as it accurately represents the combination of components that make up the Thunderbolt connector.
