B) UDP
C) handshaking
D) packet switching

Error correction refers to the process of detecting and correcting errors in transmitted data. When a network protocol cleans a corrupted signal, it is essentially performing error correction to ensure that the data is received correctly on the other end. UDP (Choice B) is a transport layer protocol used for sending datagrams which does not perform error correction. Handshaking (Choice C) refers to the exchange of messages between two devices to establish a connection, while packet switching (Choice D) refers to the process of breaking up larger data packets into smaller pieces for more efficient transmission across a network. Neither of these choices accurately describes the process of cleaning a corrupted signal.
