Correct answers: A, E
Explanation
Wired Ethernet or fiber-optic connections provide reliable and high-speed connectivity for desktop computers, which are typically stationary and require stable connections. Wi-Fi is ideal for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, as it offers flexibility and convenience for users on the move. Combining these technologies ensures optimal performance for both types of devices in an office environment.
- A. Correct.
Using wired Ethernet for desktop computers ensures reliability and minimal interference, while Wi-Fi provides flexibility for mobile devices. This combination is well-suited for office environments.
- B. Incorrect.
Wi-Fi for all devices can result in reduced reliability for desktop computers due to potential interference and signal issues, making it less ideal for offices requiring stable connections.
- C. Incorrect.
Cellular connectivity for all devices can be costly and typically lacks the high-speed, low-latency performance needed for desktop computers in an office environment.
- D. Incorrect.
Wired Ethernet for desktop computers is reliable, but cellular connectivity for mobile devices may not provide the seamless connectivity or cost-efficiency desired in an office setting.
