Solution

The correct answer is (C) The data file is broken up into packets before transmission. Individual packets all travel by the same route or different available routes and are reassembled at the destination computer. This is how data transmission over the Internet typically works. The data file is divided into smaller packets, which can take any available route to reach the destination. This method is known as packet switching. Once all the packets reach the destination, they are reassembled to form the complete file.
