Why each option

802.11n supports throughput up to 600Mbps theoretically, with 540Mbps being a commonly cited maximum in exam contexts, far exceeding all earlier standards.

A802.11a

802.11a has a maximum data rate of 54Mbps, far below 540Mbps.

B802.11b

802.11b has a maximum data rate of 11Mbps, far below 540Mbps.

C802.11g

802.11g has a maximum data rate of 54Mbps, far below 540Mbps.

D802.11nCorrect

802.11n uses MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology and channel bonding to achieve dramatically higher data rates than previous standards, with maximum theoretical speeds reaching 600Mbps and commonly cited speeds of 540Mbps. 802.11a and 802.11g both cap at 54Mbps, and 802.11b caps at 11Mbps. No other listed standard comes close to 540Mbps.
