So, definitely house E is facing T.

The correct answer is Typhoid. 

Key Points

• Typhoid is a bacterial infection that can lead to a high fever, diarrhea, and vomiting.
• It can be fatal.
• It is caused by the bacteria Salmonella typhi.
• The infection is often passed on through contaminated food and drinking water, and it is more prevalent in places where handwashing is less frequent.

Explanation:

Bus: In computer architecture, a bus (related to the Latin “omnibus”, meaning “for all”) is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers. This expression covers all related hardware components (wire, optical fiber, etc.) and software, including communication protocols.

The types of buses are:

Address Bus:

• It is a unidirectional Bus, which is responsible for only one-way communication.

Data Bus:

• It is a bi-directional bus.
• Data and Instructions pass through this bus to reach the microprocessor.
• This is responsible for the exchange of information between the main memory and microprocessor.

Control Bus:

• This is a unidirectional bus.
• This tells whether read or write, which operation should be performed that is in which direction the data should flow.

So Utility Bus is not a type of bus used in computer architecture, hence option 4 is the correct answer.
