Why each option
802.11b is the IEEE wireless standard that operates at 2.4 GHz with a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps.
802.11a operates in the 5 GHz band and supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps, not 11 Mbps.
The IEEE 802.11b standard, ratified in 1999, operates in the 2.4 GHz band and specifies a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps using DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) modulation. It was one of the earliest widely adopted Wi-Fi standards and remains the only standard with an 11 Mbps maximum rate.
802.11g operates in the 2.4 GHz band but supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps, significantly higher than 11 Mbps.
802.1q is an IEEE standard for VLAN tagging on Ethernet networks and is not a wireless networking standard at all.
