D
1 ________ is immune to
1. D. Companies that want to ensure the safety and
electromagnetic or radio-
integrity of their data should use fiberoptic
frequency interference.
A. Twisted-pair cabling cable because it cannot be affected by electromagnetic
B. CSMA/CD or radio-frequency interference.
C. Broadband coaxial cabling Even though some copper cables have shielding, they
D. Fiber-optic cabling are not immune to EMI or RFI. This eliminates twisted-
pair and coaxial. CSMA/CD is an access method, not a
cable type.

defines a bus topology 2. C. The IEEE 802.3 standard originally specified the
using coaxial baseband use of a bus topology with coaxial
baseband cable and can transmit data up to 10Mbps.
