Correct Answer: A
RS232 is a physical layer standard for serial communication between two or more devices. It defines the electrical characteristics, timing, and pinout of connectors for serial data transmission. RS232 is widely used in industrial communication devices, such as PLCs, measuring instruments, and network servers. RS232 allows only one master and one slave to communicate on each line, and operates in a full duplex mode. RS232 haslower transmission speed, shorter maximum cable length, and larger voltage swing than later standards such as RS422 and RS485123 References: 1: Basics of RS232, RS422, and RS485 Serial Communication 2: RS-232 - Wikipedia 3: RS232 Serial Communication Protocol: Basics, Working & Specifications
