Which of the following will create the fastest data transmission and the most stable computer network?

AUsing wireless access points to connect devices

BWirelessly connecting devices using mobile phones

CConnecting devices in series using co-axial cables

DConnecting devices to a switch using optic fibre cables ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Connecting devices to a switch using optic fibre cables

Explanation

Connecting devices to a switch using optic fibre cables gives the fastest data transmission and the most stable network.

Optic fibre carries data as light, allowing very high speeds with little interference.

A switch sends each frame directly to its target device, avoiding collisions and congestion.

Wireless access points are convenient but slower and more prone to interference than fibre.

Mobile phone wireless links are even less stable and offer lower sustained speed.

Co-axial cables wired in series are slower and can fail as a whole if one link breaks.
