Your company is a medium-size firm and leases

two buildings. The two buildings are 800 meters
apart. Each building has a 100BaseT Ethernet
network.
Required result:
�¡ Connect the two separate networks.
Optional result:
�¡ The network needs to support a transmission
rate of 1000 Mbps.
�¡ Must be immune to interference.
Proposed solution:
�¡ Implement fiber-optic Ethernet.
Which statement categorizes the proposed solution?
a. It achieves the required result and both
optional results.
b. It does not achieve the required result but
does achieve both the optional results.
c. It does not achieve the required result but
does achieve one of the optional results.
d. It achieves the required result but cannot
achieve either of the optional results.
e. It achieves neither the required result nor
either of the optional results.

To determine the categorization of the proposed solution, we need to understand the requirements and optional results.

1. Required result: Connect the two separate networks.
2. Optional results:
a. Support a transmission rate of 1000 Mbps.
b. Immunity to interference.

The proposed solution is to implement fiber-optic Ethernet.

Analyzing the statements:
a. It achieves the required result and both optional results.
- This statement implies that the proposed solution successfully connects the two separate networks and achieves both the optional results, including the transmission rate of 1000 Mbps and immunity to interference.

b. It does not achieve the required result but does achieve both optional results.
- This statement suggests that the proposed solution fails to connect the two separate networks, but still achieves both the optional results.

c. It does not achieve the required result but does achieve one of the optional results.
- This statement suggests that the proposed solution fails to connect the two separate networks and only achieves one of the optional results.

d. It achieves the required result but cannot achieve either of the optional results.
- This statement implies that the proposed solution successfully connects the two separate networks but cannot achieve either of the optional results.

e. It achieves neither the required result nor either of the optional results.
- This statement suggests that the proposed solution fails to achieve both the required result and the optional results.

By evaluating the statements against the requirements and optional results, the correct categorization is:

b. It does not achieve the required result but does achieve both the optional results.
