D
All of the devices are connected using WiFi
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Theoretically, multiple devices connected to Wi-Fi doesn’t slow down the internet speed. But in practice, more the number of devices are connected to the internet, the bandwidth is being shared thus affecting the speed.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, when more devices are transferring data over the internet speed does slow down. This happens because the router can only transfer and manage a fixed amount of data per second and that data is shared with all users and devices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adding Clients Say you have a client and server connected over a 100 Mbps network link. In ideal conditions, both the network’s bandwidth and actual transfer rate would be the same: 100 Mbps. However, if you added another client, the available bandwidth would be split between the two devices.
