Which monitors can be directly connected to a video card with a DB-15 and DVI-D connector?

Only digital monitors
Analog CRT monitor and digital LCD monitor
Only CRT monitors
Digital monitors with adapters

The correct answer is: Analog CRT monitor and digital LCD monitor

The selection of option B is accurate because a video card equipped with both a DB-15 connector and a DVI-D connector is capable of supporting a variety of monitor types. The DB-15 connector, more commonly known as a VGA connector, is designed to connect to analog monitors, which include traditional CRT monitors and some early-model LCD monitors. This means analog CRT monitors can be directly connected via the DB-15. On the other hand, the DVI-D connector is specifically meant for digital connections, making it compatible with digital LCD monitors. Digital monitors use this DVI-D interface to receive a digital signal, ensuring that they can take full advantage of the signal quality benefits that a digital connection provides. By having both types of connectors, the video card supports both analog and digital monitors, making it versatile for different setups. Thus, the correct choice emphasizes the capability of the video card to connect both types of monitors directly without requiring additional adapters for standard connections.
