C Correct answer
Explanation

SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) came in two common pin configurations: 30-pin SIMMs were used in older 386 and 486 systems for 8-bit data width, while 72-pin SIMMs became standard for later systems requiring 32-bit data width. Options A and B don't match standard SIMM configurations, and 168-pin is for DIMM modules, not SIMMs.
