A universal connector for data and power transfer.

• A. HDMI
• B. VGA
• C. USB-C
• D. Lightning

Answer: (C)

USB-C is designed as a single, versatile connector that carries data, power, and even video. It supports USB Power Delivery, enabling charging at higher wattages across a wide range of devices, and it offers high-speed data transfer with recent USB generations. It can also carry video signals through DisplayPort or HDMI alternate modes, making it useful with monitors, docks, and adapters. This combination of broad adoption, the ability to transfer both power and data with one cable, and optional video makes USB-C universal, unlike HDMI or VGA which are focused mainly on video (and don’t provide meaningful power delivery) or Lightning, which is Apple-specific and not broadly universal.
