Answer:

Will the printer work when I connect the printer's USB cable into a USB 2.0 port on my computer:

b. Yes, but at the USB 2.0 speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The option a is not correct as we can use 2.0 port also for this purpose but not only 3.0.
  • The option b is correct as we can use 2.0 USB Port for 3.0 USB but the speed will remain that of 2.0 USB.
  • The option c is incorrect as because the speed is dependent on the speed of port.
  • The option d is incorrect as because USB can have speed of 2.0 or 3.0 depending upon the port and USB but can't have 1.1 speed.
