Explanation:

Step1: Count occurrences of each network

• Network A: Let's count. First row: 1 (Network A), second row: 3 (Network A, Network A, Network A), third row: 3 (Network A, Network A, Network A), fourth row: 1 (Network A). Total: \(1 + 3+3 + 1=8\)
• Network B: First row: 1 (Network B), second row: 1 (Network B), third row: 1 (Network B). Total: \(1 + 1+1 = 3\)
• Network C: First row: 2 (Network C, Network C), second row: 1 (Network C), third row: 1 (Network C), fourth row: 1 (Network C). Total: \(2+1 + 1+1=5\)
• Network D: First row: 1 (Network D), fourth row: 3 (Network D, Network D, Network D). Total: \(1+3 = 4\)

Step2: Identify the mode

The mode is the value with the highest frequency. Network A has the highest count (8) among all networks.
