Why each option

Frequency bands, channel bonding, and MIMO are all defining configuration characteristics of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) wireless networking.

AWi-FiCorrect

Wi-Fi technology is configured around radio frequency bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), channel bonding (combining adjacent channels to increase throughput, e.g., 40 MHz or 80 MHz channels in 802.11n/ac), and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output, using multiple antennas to transmit and receive simultaneously for greater speed and reliability). These three parameters are specific to 802.11 standards and do not apply to other WAN technologies.

BSONET

SONET is a fiber optic synchronous transmission standard defined by optical data rates (OC levels) and framing, not by radio frequency or MIMO.

CT1/E1 Internet

T1/E1 are dedicated copper or fiber leased-line circuits using TDM with fixed bandwidth (1.544 Mbps/2.048 Mbps) and have no frequency, channel bonding, or MIMO properties.

DSatellite Internet

Satellite Internet uses fixed orbital frequency allocations and dish antenna configurations rather than the configurable channel bonding or MIMO found in Wi-Fi.
