Explanation

802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6, is the newest standard among the options listed and delivers the highest throughput (up to 9.6 Gbps theoretical) and improved range through technologies like OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and BSS Coloring. 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) offers up to ~3.5 Gbps but is surpassed by 802.11ax. 802.11b/g/n and 802.11g are significantly older and slower standards, with 802.11g maxing out at 54 Mbps and 802.11n at 600 Mbps. Wi-Fi 6 also performs better in dense environments, making it superior in both range and throughput.
