Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The core of a(n) ____ consists of dozens or hundreds of thin strands of glass or plastic that use light to transmit signals.
A
coaxial cable
B
twisted-pair cable
C
fiber-optic cable
D
TCP/IP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The core of a fiber-optic cable consists of dozens or hundreds of thin strands of glass or plastic that use light to transmit signals. Each strand, called an optical fiber, is as thin as a human hair.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber optics, or optical fibers, are long, thin strands of carefully drawn glass about the diameter of a human hair. These strands are arranged in bundles called fiber optic cables. We rely on them to transmit light signals over long distances.

Detailed explanation-3: -A fibre optic cable is made from a glass or plastic core that carries light surrounded by glass cladding that (due to its lower refractive index) reflects “escaping” light back into the core, resulting in the light being guided along the fibre.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three common core sizes: 9/125, 50/125, and 62.5/125. Each of those numbers stands for a measurement, and that measurement is in microns.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fiber Optic cables transmit a digital signal via pulses of light through a very thin strand of glass. Fiber strands (the core of the fiber optic cable) are extremely thin, no thicker than a human hair.
