Why each option

A video capture card accepts analog or digital video input from external sources such as game consoles and encodes it for recording or streaming on a PC.

AVideo captureCorrect

A video capture card (or capture device) provides dedicated hardware input ports - typically HDMI or component - that accept the video output signal from a game console. The card's encoder converts the signal into a digital format the PC can store or stream, which no other standard expansion card is designed to do.

BHigh-end graphics

A high-end graphics card is designed to render and output video from the PC, not to receive and record an incoming video signal from an external device.

CNetwork

A network card handles Ethernet or wireless connectivity for data networking and has no capability to accept or process a video signal.

DRAID controller

A RAID controller manages disk arrays for storage redundancy or performance and has no function related to video input or capture.
