Solution

The correct option is A ISDN is cheaper

Advantage of ISDN over PSTN is that ISDN is cheaper.

Unlike the PSTN, the ISDN provides better voice quality. Moreover, the ISDN provides 128 kbit/s, which is really good for the Internet. PSTN has a disadvantage that it does not make the most possible use of the broadband.

The basic advantage of ISDN is to facilitate the user with multiple digital channels. ... ISDN provides high data rate because of digital scheme which is 56kbps. ISDN network lines are able to switch manifold devices on the single line such as faxes, computers, cash registers credit cards readers, and many other devices.

An ISDN line is a digital line - your computer connects to the ISDN line (via a terminal adaptor) without having to convert the data into sound first. A basic rate ISDN line provides two 'channels', each of which can be used for separate calls, thus equivalent to having two regular lines.

The entry level interface to ISDN is the Basic Rate Interface (BRI), a 128 kbit/s service delivered over a pair of standard telephone copper wires. The 144 kbit/s payload rate is broken down into two 64 kbit/s bearer channels ('B' channels) and one 16 kbit/s signaling channel ('D' channel or data channel).
