Explanation

Apple introduced the Lightning connector in 2012 specifically to replace the older 30-pin dock connector used on earlier iPhones and iPads. Lightning is a reversible connector - it can be inserted in either orientation, unlike the 30-pin connector. USB-C (A) is also reversible but is a universal standard not created by Apple and did not replace the 30-pin. Mini-USB (C) is older and unrelated to Apple. DisplayPort (D) is a video interface standard. Lightning is the direct, Apple-specific replacement for the 30-pin dock connector.
