Which of the following options is the maximum rate supported by the 802.11g protocol?
The correct answer is C. 54Mbps. 802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz band and was designed to improve upon 802.11b while maintaining backward compatibility, with a maximum theoretical data rate of 54 Mbps - making C correct. Option A (11 Mbps) is the maximum rate of the older 802.11b standard, not 802.11g. Option…

Explanation
802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz band and was designed to improve upon 802.11b while maintaining backward compatibility, with a maximum theoretical data rate of 54 Mbps - making C correct. Option A (11 Mbps) is the maximum rate of the older 802.11b standard, not 802.11g. Option B (22 Mbps) was never a standard maximum rate for any mainstream 802.11 protocol. Option D (108 Mbps) refers to proprietary "turbo" or channel-bonding extensions offered by some vendors, but this is not part of the official 802.11g specification.
Memory tip: Think of 802.11g as "54 for g" - the letter g is the 7th letter of the alphabet, and 54 divided by 7 is close to 7.7, but more practically, just pair "g = 54" as a single fact, contrasted with "b = 11" for the generation before it.
