Why each option

HDMI is the standard interface that transmits both high-definition audio and video signals over a single cable.

AHDMICorrect

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) was specifically designed to carry uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio over a single cable and connector. This makes it ideal for connecting displays, TVs, projectors, and AV receivers without requiring separate audio and video cables.

BParallel

Parallel ports transmit data to devices such as printers and are not designed to carry audio or video signals.

CDVI-A

DVI-A carries only analog video signals and does not support audio transmission of any kind.

DeSATA

eSATA (External Serial ATA) is a high-speed interface for connecting external storage devices and carries no audio or video signals.
