Solution

The characteristic of UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable that helps reduce the effects of interference is c. the twisting of the wires in the cable.

Here's why:

UTP cables are designed with pairs of wires twisted around each other. This design helps to reduce electrical interference. When an electrical current flows through a wire, it creates an electromagnetic field around the wire. This field can interfere with other wires that are close by, causing noise or crosstalk.

By twisting the wires around each other, the cable reduces the amount of wire that is exposed to interference from any one side. If interference does occur, it will affect each wire in the pair equally. Since the signals on the two wires are in opposite directions, the interference will be cancelled out when the signals are combined at the receiving end. This is known as differential signaling.

So, the twisting of the wires in the cable is a simple but effective way to reduce interference in UTP cables.
