Solution

The correct option is A 10 Mbps

10 Mbps is the operational speed for traditional Ethernet.

A 10/100 Ethernet port on a computer or router transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while the maximum speed of a 10/100/1000 "Gigabit" port is 1 Gbps. Ethernet uses the highest common speed between sending and receiving devices.

The faster standard become known as Fast Ethernet and it had the same cabling restrictions as 10Mbps Ethernet: each cable couldn't be longer than 328 feet, or speed would dip. The new networks could carry up to 100Mbps.

Fast Ethernet cards connect to networks at a rate of 100 Mbps while Gigabit network cards can connect at speeds up to 1000mb/s. The main difference between the two is speed. A fast Ethernet card can run on bandwidths at 100mb/s while a gigabit Ethernet can run at ten times that speed.
