To answer this question, you need to understand the SCSI-1 standard.
SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface and is a set of standards for connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices. SCSI-1 is the first version of the SCSI standard.
According to the SCSI-1 standard, a maximum of 8 devices can be connected through a SCSI cable. This includes the host adapter (the SCSI controller in the computer) and the peripheral devices (such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives, scanners, etc.).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option A) 8 - This option is correct because according to the SCSI-1 standard, a maximum of 8 devices can be connected through a SCSI cable.
