As shown in the accompanying figure, ____ cable is commonly used in LAN transmissions because it is easier to install than other types of cable and can handle the faster transmissions speeds required by modern networks.
A) twisted-pair 
B) coaxial 
C) fiber-optic 
D) microwave

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The accompanying figure suggests that the cable in question is a twisted-pair cable, which is commonly used in LAN transmissions due to its easy installation and ability to handle fast transmission speeds. Coaxial cables are also used, but are less common in LANs. Fiber-optic cables have significant advantages in terms of speed and data security, but are generally more expensive and require additional equipment. Microwave transmissions are typically used for long-range and point-to-point communication, rather than LAN transmissions.
