DThe bandwidth of the internet connection used to access the web page

Correct answer: (A) Number of hyperlinks in the web page

Explanation

The number of hyperlinks in a page affects its download speed least, since links are only small text references.

The number and size of images strongly affect speed because image files are large to transfer.

The processing power of the server storing the page influences how quickly it is delivered.

The bandwidth of the internet connection directly limits how fast data can arrive.

Hyperlinks add negligible bytes compared with media content.

Optimizing image sizes is a common way to speed up web-page loading.
