Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: Gbps (gigabits per second).

Why this is correct: Internet connection speed measures how much data can be transferred per second, and is expressed in bits per second.

  • Common units: kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), gigabits per second (Gbps).

  • Example: 100 Mbps means 100 megabits transferred each second; 1 Gbps means 1 gigabit per second.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

  • GHz (gigahertz) measures frequency (cycles per second), not data transfer rate.

  • DPI (dots per inch) measures image or print resolution and does not describe network speed.

  • PPM (pages per minute) refers to printing speed, not digital data transfer.
