Mark wants to connect a printer and mouse to his laptop. Which of the following is the best wireless technology to use?

Bluetooth is specifically designed for short-range wireless communication between devices like mice, keyboards, and printers, offering low power consumption and ease of pairing.

802.11 (Wi-Fi) is primarily designed for local area networking (LAN) and Internet access, offering higher bandwidth than needed for a mouse and printer, but is overkill and often not the standard for such peripheral connections directly.

802.11b is an older Wi-Fi standard and, like other 802.11 standards, is more suited for network connectivity rather than direct peripheral device pairing.

Infrared requires a direct line of sight between devices and has very limited range, making it impractical for general use with a mouse and printer.
