Which of the following options best describes the concept of Ethernet?
The correct answer is A. A standard that defines wired connections between networked devices. Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) is a family of standards that specifically governs wired network connections using physical cables (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6, coaxial). It defines how data is transmitted over a wired local area network (LAN). Option B is incorrect because Ethernet is not…

Explanation
Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) is a family of standards that specifically governs wired network connections using physical cables (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6, coaxial). It defines how data is transmitted over a wired local area network (LAN). Option B is incorrect because Ethernet is not wireless - Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) covers wireless standards. Options C and D are too vague; Ethernet specifically addresses networked devices, not all digital devices or just network equipment.
