Under normal circumstances, which of the following wireless standards provides the slowest transfer speed at 2.4GHz?

The correct answer is B. 802.11b. 802.11b operates exclusively at 2.4 GHz with a maximum theoretical throughput of 11 Mbps, making it the slowest among the listed standards that use 2.4 GHz. 802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz at up to 54 Mbps. 802.11n operates at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at up to 600 Mbps. 802.11a…

Explanation

802.11b operates exclusively at 2.4 GHz with a maximum theoretical throughput of 11 Mbps, making it the slowest among the listed standards that use 2.4 GHz. 802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz at up to 54 Mbps. 802.11n operates at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at up to 600 Mbps. 802.11a operates at 5 GHz only (not 2.4 GHz) at up to 54 Mbps - since the question specifies 2.4 GHz, 802.11a is not applicable in this context, making 802.11b the correct answer as the slowest 2.4 GHz standard.
