Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which if these terms refers to the maximum rate at which data can be transferred? (1-4)
A
Error detection
B
Packet switching
C
Bandwidth
D
Transmission media
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Essentially, speed refers to the rate at which data can be transmitted, while the definition of bandwidth is the capacity for that speed.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, the greater the bandwidth of a given path, the higher the data transfer rate. The DTR is sometimes also referred to as throughput.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bandwidth is the maximum rate at which bits can be transferred from a source to a destination across a given path or medium. Advanced communication technologies such as 4G and 5G accommodate multiple channels and more data transfer, offering higher bandwidth compared to conventional communication systems.

Detailed explanation-4: -– Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted from point A to point B at a given period of time. It is a performance metrics used to measure the transmission capacity over a network communication system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it’s actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).
