The correct answer to the following question will be "Molex connector".

Explanation:

Molex connector seems to be the dialect term for the connectivity of a two-piece plug and socket. The two-piece concept was pioneered by the company named Molex Connector and has become an established electronic design. Inside a PC case, it brings DC control to the devices. The wide one of those on the right is being used for discs, DVD and CD-ROM drives, whereas the narrow one is being used for floppy along with other items.

Therefore, Sharon has to use the Molex connector to test any type of drive in their device.
