Answer:

The correct Answer is (b) FSB

Step-by-step explanation:

The chipset is the "superglue" that bonds the microprocessor to the rest of the motherboard and so to the rest of the computer. On a computer, it consists of two basic parts -- the Northbridge and the southbridge. All of the numerous modules of the computer communicate with the CPU over the chipset.

The northbridge joins straight to the processor via the front side bus (FSB). A memory controller is situated on the northbridge, which gives the CPU fast access to the memory. The northbridge also attaches to the AGP or PCI Express bus and to the memory himself.
