This term describes how much data can be transferred over a connection in a given time.
A
Transmission media
B
Contention ratio
C
Bandwidth
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Throughput is how much information actually gets delivered in a certain amount of time. So if bandwidth is the max amount of data, throughput is how much of that data makes it to its destination – taking latency, network speed, packet loss and other factors into account.

Detailed explanation-2: -Network bandwidth is a measurement indicating the maximum capacity of a wired or wireless communications link to transmit data over a network connection in a given amount of time. Typically, bandwidth is represented in the number of bits, kilobits, megabits or gigabits that can be transmitted in 1 second.

Detailed explanation-3: -The data transfer rate (DTR) is the amount of digital data that’s moved from one place to another in a given time. The data transfer rate can be viewed as the speed of travel of a given amount of data from one place to another. In general, the greater the bandwidth of a given path, the higher the data transfer rate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bandwidth, or network bandwidth, is the maximum data transfer rate of a network or Internet connection. It determines how much information can be sent over a particular connection in a certain amount of time. The higher bandwidth of a network, the larger amount of data it can send to and from across its path.
