What performs the function of displaying the screen you see on a computer monitor?

• A. Central Processing Unit
• B. Memory Module
• C. Graphics/Video Card
• D. Network Interface Card

Answer: (C)

The graphics/video card is responsible for turning data into the image you see on the screen. It contains a graphics processing unit that renders scenes, textures, and colors, and it uses video memory to store the frames and intermediate data. Once the image is ready, the card outputs a video signal to the monitor (via HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, etc.) and the monitor displays those pixels. The CPU handles tasks and logic, but it doesn’t drive the display by itself. The memory module simply stores data, and the network card handles network communication, not image display. If graphics are integrated on the CPU, it still serves the same role—producing and sending the display signal to the monitor.
