Explanation

A docking station is specifically designed to expand a laptop's connectivity by providing multiple ports (USB, video output, audio, Ethernet) and power delivery through a single connection. It serves as a desktop hub, allowing a laptop to connect to peripherals like an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and simultaneously charge - making it the ideal solution. Lightning (A) is Apple's proprietary connector, not a device category. A KVM switch (B) allows one set of peripherals to control multiple computers, which is not what's requested. USB 3.0 (C) is a data transfer standard, not a device that provides all the listed functionality.
