Attempted by 95 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
TCP does not guarantee a minimum communication rate; it focuses on reliable, in-order delivery and congestion control. Option A is false because TCP's primary goals are reliability and flow control, not rate guarantees. Options B, C, and D describe accurate TCP behaviors: in-order delivery, congestion window reduction, and retransmission for packet loss. Therefore, A is the correct choice as the false statement.
