Explanation
A TV tuner card (A) is the component most directly suited to a home theater PC, as it allows the system to receive over-the-air or cable TV broadcasts and function as a digital video recorder (DVR). This is a defining feature of an HTPC that distinguishes it from a standard PC. A video card with dual monitor output is a general workstation feature. USB 3.0 expansion cards provide faster storage I/O but are not specific to home theater use. A PCIe RAID controller is a server/workstation component focused on storage redundancy, which is unnecessary for typical home theater media playback.
