Q: Data transmission speed is generally measured in which unit?
  • A. Bits per second
  • B. Nanosecond
  • C. Megahertz
  • D. Kilohertz
Correct Answer: Option A - In telecommunications, data transfer speed is usually measured in bits per second. For example, a typical low-speed connection to the Internet may be 33.6 kilobytes per second (Kbps). On Ethernet local area networks, data transfer can be as fast as 10 megabytes per second.
