    But on they other hand, maybe they're just testing your observation skills.
    I have a couple keyboards here that are white thru and thru. Wonder how someone exposed to only those would respond...

    You are supposed to know this. If you wish to be a computer techician, you need to be able to work with all kind of computers environments. You may say OK, just put the connector into the same colour socket - but what if the connector is not colour coded...? Here's a bit more from Wikipedia about the PS/2 connector:

    The PS/2 connector is used for connecting some keyboards and mice to a PC compatible computer system. Its name comes from the IBM Personal System/2 series of personal computers, with which it was introduced in 1987. The PS/2 mouse connector generally replaced the older DE-9 RS-232 "serial mouse" connector, while the keyboard connector replaced the larger 5-pin DIN used in the IBM PC/AT design. The PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces are electrically similar and employ the same communication protocol. However, a given system's keyboard and mouse port may not be interchangeable since the two devices use a different set of commands. Following the release of USB keyboards, PS/2 keyboards and mice have become less popular.

    Actully 2 of these choices would be correct, but since the question says choose the best answer then the more popular of the 2 would be the correct answer.

    Answer:

    The color associated with the PS/2 keyboard port is purple. This connector type of the keyboard and mouse cable is also known as a male mini-Din 6. Both the mouse and keyboard cable would have the same connectors.

    Correct Option(s):

    d) Purple
