Why each option
The 802.11b Wi-Fi standard operates in the 2.4 GHz band and has a maximum theoretical throughput of 11 Mbps.
802.11a operates in the 5 GHz band and supports a maximum throughput of 54 Mbps, not 11 Mbps.
802.11b, ratified in 1999, uses DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) modulation in the 2.4 GHz band and supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. It was the first widely adopted Wi-Fi standard but has since been superseded by faster standards. The 11 Mbps maximum is a defining characteristic that distinguishes 802.11b from all other 802.11 standards.
802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz band and supports a maximum throughput of 54 Mbps, not 11 Mbps.
802.11n supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and can achieve maximum theoretical throughput up to 600 Mbps, far exceeding 11 Mbps.
