Correct answer: A
Correct answer: (A) and (B) only
Guided media such as twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, and optical fiber uses a physical path. This generally allows higher data rates and reduces external interference, so statements (A) and (B) are correct.
Statement (C) is incorrect because unguided media broadcasts through air and is generally easier to intercept than a physical guided medium.
