Why each option
BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) connectors are the standard connector type used to terminate coaxial network cables.
RJ-11 is a 6-position modular connector used for telephone lines and DSL, not for coaxial cable.
Token ring refers to a network topology and media access method, not a physical connector type.
BNC connectors are specifically designed for coaxial cable and use a bayonet-style twist-lock coupling mechanism to create a secure connection. They were the standard connector for 10BASE2 thinnet Ethernet and remain in use for legacy networking and video applications.
RJ-45 is an 8-position modular connector used for twisted-pair Ethernet cables such as Cat5e and Cat6, not coaxial cable.
