How many pins are on a VGA connector?

D-shaped with 15 pins
Rectangular with 9 pins
Square with 25 pins
Hexagonal with 12 pins

The correct answer is: D-shaped with 15 pins

The VGA (Video Graphics Array) connector is characterized by its D-shaped design and is specifically known for having 15 pins. This connector has been widely used for connecting video display devices, such as monitors to computers, especially before the advent of digital video connections like HDMI and DisplayPort. The arrangement of the pins is designed to facilitate both analog video signals and some additional functionality, such as horizontal and vertical sync signals. The format of the connector plays an important role in ensuring compatibility with older video equipment, and the specific pin configuration is critical for proper signal transmission. Therefore, answer A accurately reflects the correct format, shape, and number of pins associated with a VGA connector. Other choices present different shapes and pin counts that do not correspond to any standard video connector types, highlighting that they do not align with the specifications of a VGA connector.
