Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Is the maximum amount of data that can pass through the medium (e.g. wire) per second____
A
Latency
B
Bit Rate
C
Bandwidth
D
Durability
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The maximum bandwidth defines the upper limit for the requested bandwidth allocation setting when the network is associated with a server profile. The maximum bandwidth value you specify for a single physical port must be more than the preferred bandwidth, but lesser than the total possible bandwidth for an adapter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bandwidth is a measure of the transmission capacity of a network over a specific period of time. It is the rate at which a link may send or receive bits per second. Data rate is used to measure how fast data is transferred from one point to another. It refers to the actual amount of data transferred.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wires are the most commonly used transmission media. A wire offers a bandwidth of approximately 750 MHz. The transmission over the air and free space range from a few hundred kHz to a few GHz. An optical fiber can offer a signal bandwidth of over 100 GHz.

Detailed explanation-4: -As per the study material notes on signal bandwidth & transmission medium, bandwidth generally refers to the span of frequencies in a band used to transmit a signal through a particular medium. Bandwidth = f₂ – f₁, Where f₂ is the upper frequency and f₁ is the lower frequency in a band.
