The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is MicroATX<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motherboard shown in the image is labeled ASRock H110M-HDS<\/strong>, which follows the MicroATX<\/strong> form factor. The “M” in the model number typically denotes a micro form factor, and the physical layout and size confirm it. MicroATX motherboards are smaller than standard ATX boards but larger than Mini-ITX boards. They usually measure 244 mm x 244 mm (9.6 in x 9.6 in)<\/strong> and have fewer expansion slots than a full-size ATX board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Motherboards come in various form factors to accommodate different system sizes, functionalities, and needs. The most common form factors are ATX<\/strong>, MicroATX<\/strong>, and Mini-ITX<\/strong>. These standards are defined primarily by size and the number of expansion slots they support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended)<\/strong> is the standard size, typically 305 mm x 244 mm (12 in x 9.6 in)<\/strong>. It supports the most expansion slots and is often used in full-size desktop systems that require high performance and multiple hardware components like GPUs, sound cards, or additional storage controllers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • MicroATX<\/strong> is a smaller alternative to ATX and typically measures 244 mm x 244 mm (9.6 in x 9.6 in)<\/strong>. It supports fewer expansion slots (usually up to 4) but maintains compatibility with most ATX cases. MicroATX offers a balance between functionality and size, making it ideal for budget or mid-range PCs where space or cost is a concern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Mini-ITX<\/strong> is the most compact of the three, measuring 170 mm x 170 mm (6.7 in x 6.7 in)<\/strong>. It generally has one expansion slot and limited RAM and port options. Mini-ITX is used in small form factor builds such as HTPCs (Home Theater PCs) or ultra-compact desktops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The ASRock H110M-HDS shown here supports Intel\u2019s 6th and 7th generation CPUs using the LGA1151 socket and adheres to the MicroATX layout. It includes integrated graphics support, memory slots, and multiple input\/output ports, which is characteristic of MicroATX motherboards. Its dimensions and features make it compact yet versatile for many desktop applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
