Bandwidth and data transfer – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C correctly explain how bandwidth, throughput and network conditions interact in ICT systems. Bandwidth is a capacity measure, higher bandwidth usually permits more data per unit time, and congestion or latency can reduce effective speeds. Statement D is false because bandwidth is commonly expressed in bits per second or related units, not pages per minute. Thus, the correct combination is A, B and C only.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B and omits C. While A and B are true, statement C is also correct in acknowledging the impact of congestion and latency on user experience. Leaving out C ignores key performance factors.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it groups A, C and D as correct, thereby accepting D. Statement D misrepresents standard measurement units for bandwidth, so its inclusion invalidates the combination.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it selects A, B and C, which together provide a coherent description of bandwidth and real-world throughput. It explicitly excludes D, which uses an inappropriate unit for ICT bandwidth.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it lists B, C and D as correct statements. Although B and C are true, D is not, and any valid answer must exclude D.
