     The ___________determine how many bits of data can be sent along a given bus at any one time

    A) Control unit                   

    B) Bus width

    C) Bus speed                     

    D) Amount of memory

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The size of the bus, called the bus width, determines the number of bits that the computer can transmit at one time. For eg. a 32-bit bus can transmit 32 bits (4 bytes) at a time on at 64-bit bus, bits transmit from one location to another 64 bits (8 bytes) at a time. The larger the number of bits handled by the bus, the faster the computer transfers data.
