What type of video signal does an S-Video cable send from a computer to a TV?

  1. Digital

  2. Analog

  3. Component

  4. Composite

The correct answer is: Analog

An S-Video cable sends an analog video signal from a computer to a TV. This type of cable only carries video information and is incapable of carrying digital signals, such as those needed for high-definition video. Component cables, on the other hand, can send both digital and analog signals but require three cables instead of one. Composite cables are also capable of carrying analog video signals, but they are lower quality compared to S-Video. Therefore, the most accurate answer is "B Analog".
