Why each option

Wired networks offer superior performance and reliability compared to wireless, but lack the flexibility of mobile access.

ALow throughput, low mobility, high availability, high latency, high security

This option incorrectly states low throughput, high latency, and low mobility, contradicting the advantages of wired networks.

BHigh throughput, high mobility, low availability, low latency, high security

This option incorrectly states high mobility and low availability, which are not characteristics of wired networks.

CHigh throughput, low mobility, high availability, low latency, high securityCorrect

Wired networks, particularly Ethernet, are known for high throughput (speed) and low latency (minimal delay). They offer high availability because they are less susceptible to interference and signal degradation than wireless, and typically have higher security due to physical access requirements. However, wired connections inherently have low mobility as devices must be physically tethered to network ports.

DLow throughput, high mobility, low availability, high latency, low security

This option incorrectly states low throughput, high mobility, and high latency, which are not characteristics of wired networks.
