Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The amount of data that can be transmitted in a given period of time is known as what?
A
Data collisions
B
Latency
C
Bandwidth
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. 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).

Detailed explanation-3: -Network bandwidth is a measure of the data transfer rate or capacity of a given network. It’s a crucial network measurement for understanding the speed and quality of a network. Network bandwidth is commonly measured in bits per second (bps).

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. 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.
