Question

a device that transmits digital data over analog utility lines and links with an internet service provider is:
a utility line
a computer
a modem
the internet

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "a utility line" is the physical line, not a transmitting device.
• "a computer" is for processing, not transmitting over analog lines to an ISP.
• "a modem" (modulator - demodulator) converts digital data to analog for transmission over analog lines (like phone lines) and links to an ISP.
• "the Internet" is a network, not a device for transmission over analog lines.

Answer:

C. a modem
