A
50 times
B
200 times
C
100 times
D
10 times
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -London: Scientists have developed a new wireless Internet based on harmless infrared rays that is 100 times faster than existing wi-fi network and has the capacity to support more devices without getting congested.

Detailed explanation-2: -IEEE 802.11: WiFi WiFi uses radio waves (RF) to allow two devices to communicate with one another. The technology is most commonly used to connect Internet routers to devices like computers, tablets, and phones; however, it can be used to connect together any two hardware components.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wifi 6, also known as 802.11ax, is the most recent wireless networking version that enables many devices to be connected to a single router or internet source, controlling power more effectively. Using Wifi 6, a computer network can accommodate and transfer larger volumes of data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why is it called wireless fidelity? The term wireless fidelity is formed out of two words: Wireless and Fidelity. “Wireless technology” suggests the absence of cables or wires for the transfer of signals and “fidelity” meaning lasting support.
