To enhance the functionality of a USB hub, what device can you connect to it?

  1. Multiple USB devices

  2. Legacy ports

  3. Parallel printers

  4. Bluetooth devices

The correct answer is: Multiple USB devices

Connecting multiple USB devices to a USB hub significantly enhances its functionality by allowing several devices to be connected and utilized simultaneously. A USB hub expands the number of available USB ports, enabling the user to connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, external hard drives, and more without needing to connect each one directly to the computer. This capability is particularly valuable in situations where a computer has a limited number of USB ports. By connecting a hub, users can maximize the utility of their USB connections and streamline their workstation setup. Other options, such as legacy ports, parallel printers, and Bluetooth devices, do not directly enhance the USB hub's functionality in the same way, as they either require different types of connections or do not take advantage of the USB standards.
