Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To connect a modern laptop with only USB-C ports to an older monitor with a VGA input, a USB-C to VGA converter is required. This device enables video signal conversion between the two incompatible formats, ensuring the laptop's video output is displayed on the monitor. Other options are either for different purposes (e.g., network connectivity) or incompatible with the described hardware.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A USB-C to VGA converter is specifically designed to connect a USB-C port on a laptop to a VGA input on an older monitor.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A USB-C to HDMI converter is for connecting USB-C devices to HDMI-compatible monitors or displays, not VGA.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A USB-C to Ethernet adapter is used to connect a device to a wired network, not for video output to a VGA monitor.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A VGA to HDMI converter would work in the opposite direction, converting a VGA output to an HDMI input, which is not required in this scenario.
