Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Bus:

  • A bus is used as a connecting device which shares multiple hardware components.
  • The communication between the motherboard components and the other devices is done through bus.
  • One of the defining characteristics of the system is the bus connecting the CPU and the memory, and is often referred to as the system bus.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Motherboard:

Motherboard connects all the components of a computer which includes CPU and main memory. It helps in providing connections for the peripheral devices which includes external hard drives, network devices, printers, data cards, video cards, and so on.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Register:

Register is a high speed storage area located in the CPU which is used to temporarily hold small units of program instructions and data immediately before, during, as well as after CPU execution.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Control unit:

Control unit interprets the instruction execution. It fetches the instruction from the main memory and tells the user which instruction to execute, and other parts of system such as ALU and memory unit perform the operations.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

For context and I am looking for someone with experience in either computer graphics with companies, or at least has an expertise or experiences in engine development.I am developing a game engine. The niche that I want to focus in open-world development to specialize in.I have seen, heard, and had discussions about various approaches to scene graphs and ways they get handled to be sent to the renderer.If I wanted to focus on open-world, what are different tips and approaches you can tell me of how complex scenes. Like open-world get rendered? What I mean when asking this question, what is the design layout typically of a few approaches that is used for rendering not just basic scenes but complex scenes? Especially since I want to focus on building a game engine that hopes to focuse in open-world.I am using the entity component system framework EnTT, and would like to know if you can also provide tips and how that framework can be incorporated into the design layouts of how you've…
