Solution

The correct option is C X.25

X.25 the ITU standard that defines the interface between a data terminal device and a packet switching network.

X.25 is an ITU-T standard protocol suite for packet switched wide area network (WAN) communication. An X.25 WAN consists of packet-switching exchange (PSE) nodes as the networking hardware, and leased lines, plain old telephone service connections, or ISDN connections as physical links.

X.25 was originally defined by the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT, now ITU-T) in a series of drafts and finalized in a publication known as The Orange Book in 1976.

X.25 networks were popular during the 1980s with telecommunications companies and in financial transaction systems such as automated teller machines. However, most uses have moved to internet protocol (IP) systems instead. X.25 is still used (e.g., as of 2012 in the credit card payment industry) and available in niche applications.
