Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
eSATA (external Serial ATA) is a high-speed external interface that allows for connecting external hard drives to a PC. It provides faster data transfer rates than USB and Firewire, making it a good choice for expanding storage. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a protocol used for connecting storage devices over a network and is not typically used for connecting external hard drives to a PC. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) and EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) are outdated technologies and do not support external hard drive connections.
