Networking device used to send data among multiple networks that use the same protocol.
A
Hub
B
Switch
C
Star
D
Router
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bridge. A network bridge acts as an interconnection between two or more LANs, essentially creating a single domain from separate LANs. In this way, a bridge is different than a router, which enables communication among different networks but considers them discrete systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hubs connect multiple computer networking devices together. A hub also acts as a repeater in that it amplifies signals that deteriorate after traveling long distances over connecting cables. A hub is the simplest in the family of network connecting devices because it connects LAN components with identical protocols.

Detailed explanation-3: -A bridge is a network device that joins two or more LANs (local area networks) to build a larger LAN. Network bridging is the process of aggregating networks. A bridge joins the various components to make them appear as if they are all part of the same network. Hence the correct answer is Bridges.

Detailed explanation-4: -A router is a network layer hardware device that transmits data from one LAN to another if both networks support the same set of protocols.

Detailed explanation-5: -TCP – Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) separates data into packets that can be shared over a network. These packets can then be sent by devices like switches and routers to the designated targets.
