Why each option

The DB-15 connector, also known as the VGA connector, is a 15-pin D-sub connector commonly used for analog video output on computers.

ABNC

A BNC connector is a bayonet-style coaxial connector used in networking and RF applications, not for standard PC video.

BDin-6

A DIN-6 connector is a round 6-pin connector historically used for PS/2 keyboards and MIDI, not video.

CDisplayPort

DisplayPort is a modern digital video connector with a distinctive asymmetric rectangular shape and a locking tab, visually different from DB-15.

DDB-15Correct

The DB-15 (DE-15) is the standard 15-pin D-subminiature connector used for VGA video output, arranged in three rows of five pins within a trapezoidal shell. It has been the dominant analog monitor connection standard for decades and is widely recognizable.
