Typically measured in Mbps or Gbps, ___ is the amount of data that can be transmitted over a given amount of time.AfiberBnetwork mediaCbandwidthDSTP

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the key concepts in the question: data transmission, measurements (Mbps or Gbps), and the choices provided.
2. Recognize that the term being defined relates to a property of a communication medium.

Relevant Concepts

3. The question seeks a definition related to data transfer rates, and the context of the question suggests it is looking for a specific term that fits this definition.

Analysis and Detail

4. The term that corresponds to the capacity to transmit data per unit of time with the provided measurements (Mbps or Gbps) is “bandwidth”.
5. The other options:
   • A. Fiber (does not represent a measure of data capacity)
   • B. Network media (refers to the physical pathways but not the measure of data transfer)
   • C. Bandwidth (correct term as it measures data transfer rates)
   • D. STP (Shielded Twisted Pair, refers to a type of wiring but not a measure)

Verify and Summarize

6. The best fit for the blank that describes the amount of data transmitted over a given time frame is "bandwidth".

Final Answer

C. bandwidth
