A
1000BaseSX
B
1000BaseCX
C
1000BaseLX
D
1000BaseT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which Gigabit Ethernet standard can support long network segments up to a maximum of 5 km when used with single-mode fiber optic cable? 1000BaseLX supports segment lengths of up to 5 km when used with single-mode fiber optic cable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Half-duplex SM fiber connections can reach a maximum segment length of 316m. Full-duplex SM fiber connections can reach a maximum segment length of 5000m.

Detailed explanation-3: -1000BASE-LX is a gigabit Ethernet standard over fiber optic. It is for operating on single mode fiber (SMF) or multimode fiber (MMF), with a long wavelength of 1270 to 1355 nanometers (typically 1310nm). The “LX” stands for long reach. 1000BASE-LX supports 10km over single mode fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -1000Base-SX (IEEE 802.3z) The implementation of Gigabit Ethernet running over multimode fiber-optic cable (instead of copper twisted-pair cable) and using short wavelength laser.
