What is ASIC used for?

  1. Improving computer graphics

  2. Web browsing acceleration

  3. Used in Switches as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit

  4. Enhancing audio output quality

The correct answer is: Used in Switches as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit

ASIC, or Application Specific Integrated Circuit, is a type of chip or microchip that is specifically designed for a particular application. It is often used in electronic devices and systems that require a high level of performance and speed, such as switches. While options A, B, and D may also involve the use of chips, they do not specifically refer to ASIC, and therefore are not the correct answer. Option C is the most appropriate response as it directly connects ASIC with its specific purpose and application.
