EGA supports what resolution?

  1. 320x240

  2. 640x350

  3. 800x600

  4. 1024x768

The correct answer is: 640x350

EGA stands for "Enhanced Graphics Adapter" and it was introduced in 1984 by IBM. It was a popular graphics standard for personal computers in the 1980s and early 1990s. The maximum resolution supported by EGA is 640x350, which is twice as much as the previous standard, CGA, making it a significant improvement. The other options provided are incorrect as they do not fall within the resolution range of EGA. A 320x240 is much lower than EGA's maximum resolution, B: 640x350. C: 800x600 is closer to VGA's maximum resolution and D: 1024x768 is commonly seen on later graphics standards such as SVGA. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 640x350.
