DMA (Direct Memory Access) channel allows for direct transfer of data between a peripheral device and system memory without involving the microprocessor. This helps reduce the workload on the CPU and increases overall system performance. ICQ is a messaging program, I/O address is a memory address used to access an I/O device, and memory range refers to a specific range of memory locations. None of these options directly facilitate the transfer of data between a peripheral device and system memory.
