a) MODEMb) Communication line
c) Network address
d) Packet
e) Router
Answer: c.
Explanation: In order to differentiate between the computers on a network, each is given its own, unique, network address. In this way, a message intended for one computer can be recognized by that computer through the message’s destination address. A MODEM is a device that is used to allow a computer to communicate to another computer over a telephone line. A communication line is the network media itself. A packet is a collection of data that is sent over a network. A router is a hardware device used to take a message from one network and move it to another based on the message’s destination address.
