Solution

The increase in Round Trip Time (RTT) in Sliding Windows when a sender chooses a window size larger than the bandwidth x RTT product is primarily due to queueing delays.

When the window size is larger than the bandwidth-delay product (bandwidth x RTT), more packets are sent out into the network before the sender receives acknowledgements for them. This leads to a situation where packets are waiting in queues at routers along the path, leading to an increase in the RTT.

So, the correct answer is: b. queueing delays
