Why each option
RJ-45 is the 8-pin modular connector universally used to terminate UTP Ethernet cables for wired network connections.
RJ-45 connectors have 8 positions and 8 contacts (8P8C), accommodating all four twisted pairs in a UTP Ethernet cable, and are the standard termination used for Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a network cabling.
RJ-11 is a smaller 6-position connector primarily used for telephone lines and DSL connections, not for Ethernet UTP cabling.
LC (Lucent Connector) is a small form-factor fiber optic connector designed for glass or plastic fiber, not copper UTP cable.
SC (Subscriber Connector) is a larger push-pull fiber optic connector designed for fiber cabling, not copper UTP cable.
