Solution

The correct option is C It s measured in dB

It s measured in dB is not true w.r.t channel capacity

The decibel ( dB) is used to measure sound level, but it is also widely used in electronics, signals and communication. The dB is a logarithmic way of dscribing a ratio. The ratio may be power, sound pressure, voltage or intensity or several other things.

Here C is the maximum capacity of the channel in bits/second otherwise called Shannon's capacity limit for the given channel, B is the bandwidth of the channel in Hertz, S is the signal power in Watts and N is the noise power, also in Watts. The ratio S/N is called Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

Channel capacity, in electrical engineering, computer science and information theory, is the tight upper bound on the rate at which information can be reliably transmitted over a communication channel.

Frequency-division multiplexing. In telecommunications, frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) is a technique by which the total bandwidth available in a communication medium is divided into a series of non-overlapping frequency bands, each of which is used to carry a separate signal.
