70% to passWhat Ethernet cabling technology supports the greatest data transfer speeds?
AThick Ethernet
BFast Ethernet
CThin Ethernet
DGigabit Ethernet
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Gigabit Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet is the Ethernet cabling technology that supports the greatest data transfer speeds, with a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). This is significantly faster than the other Ethernet options presented, such as Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Thick/Thin Ethernet (10 Mbps). The other options are incorrect because they represent older and slower Ethernet technologies that cannot match the data transfer speeds of Gigabit Ethernet, which is the current industry standard for high-speed Ethernet networking.
