Show Hint
especially in wired LANs or wireless bridges.
- Hub
- Ethernet Card
- Repeater
- Modem
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
A Repeater is a device that receives the weakened signal,
amplifies or regenerates it, and then transmits it further down the line.
This extends the range of the network beyond its natural limit.
A Hub connects multiple devices but does not regenerate signals.
An Ethernet Card is a network interface card installed in devices,
allowing them to connect to a network, but it does not amplify signals.
A Modem modulates and demodulates data for transmission over phone lines,
but does not function specifically to regenerate signals.
Therefore, the device that regenerates signals is a Repeater.
