Solution

The correct option is B BPS
  • Modem speed is a measure of how much data can be transferred in a given amount of time.
  • Typically, the Modem speeds are measured in bits per second (bps).
  • AT&T manufactured the first commercial modem in 1962. This modem transmitted data over phone lines at 300 bps (bits per second).
  • For dial-up modems, due to the technology used to deliver normal phone service, the fastest rate available is 56 kilobits (one thousand bits) per second.
