Question

question: 3
what is the latency of a system?

• the amount of data (in bits) that can be transmitted at any given time
• the distance that data needs to travel in a network
• the time it takes for a bit to travel from sender to receiver
• the strength of the network connection

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes bandwidth (amount of data transmitted at a time), not latency.
• The second option refers to the physical distance data travels, which is not latency.
• The third option correctly defines latency as the time a bit takes to travel from sender to receiver.
• The fourth option describes signal strength or network quality, not latency.

Answer:

C. The time it takes for a bit to travel from sender to receiver
