Why each option

Quality of Service (QoS) is the correct technology for VoIP because it prioritizes voice traffic to minimize latency, jitter, and packet loss.

AQoSCorrect

QoS allows network devices to classify and prioritize VoIP packets over other traffic types. Because VoIP is highly sensitive to latency and jitter, QoS ensures voice packets are delivered with low delay even when the network is congested, making calls clear and uninterrupted.

BPOTS

POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) is the traditional analog telephone network and is a competing technology to VoIP, not a supporting one.

CWake-on-LAN

Wake-on-LAN is a power management feature that remotely powers on computers and has no relationship to voice traffic quality.

DVPN

VPN encrypts and tunnels network traffic but adds overhead and latency, which can degrade VoIP quality rather than improve it.
