Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 1000 bps
Explanation: The receiver's clock is 0.1 percent faster, so it receives 0.1% more bits per second than the sender.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal: 0.1% = 0.001.
Step 2: Multiply by the data rate: 0.001 × 1,000,000 bps = 1,000 bps.
Conclusion: The receiver gets 1,000 extra bits per second.
