Explanation
Cable internet is delivered over coaxial copper cable, and its architecture is shared - customers in the same neighborhood node share the available bandwidth on that segment, meaning speeds can decrease during peak hours. Fiber (A) uses fiber-optic glass or plastic strands, not copper. NIC (C) is a Network Interface Card - a hardware component inside a device, not an ISP service. DSL (D) also uses copper (telephone lines), but DSL is a dedicated point-to-point connection between the customer and the central office - bandwidth is NOT shared with neighbors. The key differentiator here is the shared bandwidth model, which is characteristic of cable.
