Internet connection types – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C correctly describe broadband, fibre and mobile data connections, while statement D is false. Broadband generally outperforms dial-up in speed, fibre optics use light in glass or plastic and mobile networks rely on cellular towers. Dial-up, however, traditionally uses telephone lines, not satellites. Thus the correct combination is A, B and C only.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B as correct, omitting C. Mobile data is an important and common way of accessing the Internet, so leaving it out provides an incomplete picture of connection types.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists B and C only and ignores A. Statement A is an essential comparison between broadband and dial-up speeds and should not be excluded when discussing connection types.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups A, B and D as correct statements and thereby accepts D. Since D mischaracterises dial-up as satellite-based, including it makes this combination wrong.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it brings together the three accurate statements and excludes D, which contradicts the standard description of dial-up technology. It offers a balanced overview of common Internet connection options.
