Explanation

Tethering is the process of sharing a mobile device's cellular internet connection with another device, either via USB, Wi-Fi hotspot, or Bluetooth. It is specifically designed for this use case. Bluetooth (A) is a short-range wireless protocol primarily for peripherals and file transfer, not internet sharing. IR (B) is an outdated line-of-sight technology not used for internet sharing. DSL (D) is a wired broadband technology delivered over telephone lines - it is not a mobile sharing method.
