B Correct answer
Explanation

Newer chip and PIN machines have fewer cables than older models, typically around 4. Modern payment terminals often use a single combined cable for power and data (like ethernet-powered devices) or USB, plus potentially a phone line backup. The reduced cable count reflects advances in payment technology and connectivity options. Option B (4 cables) is marked correct.
