Explanation
A cable with red, white, and yellow connectors is a standard RCA A/V cable. The yellow connector carries composite video, the red connector carries right stereo audio, and the white connector carries left stereo audio. RCA refers to the connector type (phono plug) developed by the Radio Corporation of America. Component video (A) uses three video connectors (red, green, blue or Y/Pb/Pr) with no combined audio in the same bundle. S-video (D) uses a 4-pin mini-DIN connector, not RCA connectors. Composite video (B) describes only the video signal type carried by the yellow connector, not the full cable - RCA is the more complete and accurate descriptor for the entire cable assembly.
