Explanation

Quality of Service (QoS) is the technology that prioritizes network traffic by classifying packets and ensuring critical traffic (such as VoIP, video conferencing, or business applications) gets bandwidth and low latency over less critical traffic like social media or web browsing. VLANs (B) segment networks logically but do not inherently prioritize traffic. VPNs (C) create encrypted tunnels for secure communication. TLS (D) is a cryptographic protocol for securing data in transit. Only QoS directly manages traffic prioritization.
