The correct answer is: A. Extended Industry Standard Architecture
EISA stands for Extended Industry Standard Architecture. It is a 32-bit computer bus standard developed by a consortium of nine computer manufacturers in 1988. EISA was designed to be a backward-compatible extension of the IBM PC AT bus, and it was widely adopted by PC manufacturers in the early 1990s.
EISA is a 32-bit bus with a 33 MHz clock speed. It supports up to eight expansion slots, and each slot can accommodate a 32-bit ISA device or a 32-bit EISA device. EISA also supports a number of features that were not available on the ISA bus, such as bus mastering and DMA.
EISA was eventually superseded by the PCI bus, but it remains a popular choice for embedded systems and legacy applications.
Here is a brief explanation of each option:
